First time skiing good snow in a month of sundays, boy howdy

10-15 of soft snow, up to 25 in wind loaded pockets. Wet loose up to sz 1.5 on S solar aspects. Stayed on N aspects, snow was good everywhere except S solar, and around solar impacted areas with rocks/trees to heat up the surrounding snow. Good surface snow quality to about 1350m in the trees. BTL is still gross with underlaying crust and hardened tree bombs. Pockets of soft windslab reactive to riders on N aspects. These areas are visibly wind deposited.

A bunch of loose wet to size 1.5 on solar aspects as expected. 2x Sz 1 Sa soft windslab on N aspects on convexities. Nothing serious (less than 10m wide 25cm deep), but enough to warrant a more conservative line choice given the group.

Weather observation is for 2000 feb 15 to 0300 Feb 16. S-1 3cms accumulated at WTH at night. No wind was observed at WTH, but windloading and wind effect the next day suggests NW wind. During day, sunny with few clouds, L NW winds.

CT 13 down 30 on graupel. No results with ECT, no results on the PWL (down ~105cm) with PST.
