Quick Observation
Amazing day out at Cirque Forepeak. Ski pen was 30cm in the trees. Loose, unconsolidated blower pow sitting on soft slab. Did not break through to facets. In the low alpine the wind affect was obvious. 5-15cm loose snow sitting on a harder wind slab. Turned around before hitting any of the steeper alpine slopes, doubt it would have been good skiing. Skied up to 30 degrees on small isolated slopes without any problems or instabilities. Couple of small settlements in the bottom trees but nothing once we were breaking trail above. Snowing off and on all day with a few cm of accumulation. Sunny breaks in between. No wind down low, moderate in the alpine. Pin shows as high as we got. Snow depth was 165cm at Treeline. Sun packed a punch and afternoon snow was wet enough to stick to the skis.
