Quick Observation

TallyHo has seem some traffic in the last number of days as is evidence by the whoop-di-doos on the trail in. We found powder shots between old tracks and managed to tag a few summits today in the area. HS is 75-100cm and variably distributed in the Alpine. Sled cuts on small, wind loaded features produced no results though we did stay clear of some of the fatter, steeper, wind loaded slopes in the area. Evidence of previous avalanches up to size 2+ in cross loaded alpine features. These were likely from the Dec 2 warming/storm. The melt freeze crust goes up to about 1400m and the new snow seems to be bonding well to it. Of note was wide spread surface hoar development. It will be interesting to see how much of it survives long enough to be buried and become a problem layer.
