Poked around in Narao for a quick lap in the cold. Toured to Treeline 2150m and did a quick ECT. Top to bottom of pit was faceted with a few cm of wind affect on top. Fist hard throughout entire pack. Depth 90cm ECT 13 full propagation planar ~60cm down. Didn't continue test as there was nothing really left to test all facets in bottom 30cm of pack. Narao needs at least another 50cm before it's even worth riding. Bottom half is just tib fib fracture waiting to happen. Also apparently they are running sled dogs on the access road now so you can start your day by dragging your skins through dog urine and then get run down on your way up and down. Not even so much as a wave from the operator... nice!
