- <p>With only 10cm of snow to work with, slabs are pockety and shallow, in the right terrain could be a problem but easy to indentify. </p>
Higher terrain wind jacked
Many E facing starting zone still boney, lots of snowmobile traffic due to excellent access and supportable snow
Stronger overall pack than we have seen on Skyline in last couple of years
ECT test , I apologize for the gravity defying example here, one day I will learn to hold the camera right or figure out how to change the video, but you get the idea of how strong the snow is getting in deeper areas.

- <p>scattered, NW through NE, pockety</p> <p>many areas E facing are wind stripped, boney, and shallow, will be of concern when loaded with new snow </p>
10 cm new at Miller Flat, total on stake is still 95 cm, wind has damaged most of the exposed terrain, still able to find very good settled creamy snow in sheltered N facing terrain. Crusts, some breakable, have formed on E through SW making condition on that aspect less than desirable. Old Wind slab and Cornices seem welded in place
Snow is very supportable now, even in boots, almost like 5" of cream over groomers. When we stepped off skis to dig pit, we only penetrated new snow. Machines now have access with only obstacles downed timber.
