Never argue with knee deep powder

<p>Today we skied at Ashman ridge. We found 30cm of delightful low density snow above the Jan 25 rain crust. This crust was supportive in the terrain we skied today and made for good fast skiing. We entered the avalanche terrain carefully to asses how well the new storm snow was bonding to the rain crust. Where we skied, there was no slab properties in the new snow and it seemed to be bonding well to the old crust. However, this was only in the terrain we skied today and careful assessment should be made when stepping into new terrain. With continued snowfall and wind the hazard could increase. </p>
