Hilda Ridge Ski Hike

Whumpfing everywhere, all day! Went for a hike on the skis and found an average HS of 40cm and supportive to skis. Winds were blowing all morning and died down by the afternoon. Southerly aspects were being heated up by 1pm at 2300m and the top 2cm of snow was moist. By 2pm down at 2000m the top 5cm of snow was moist and heavy on the skis.

F+ to 4F+ "snowpack" with F facets and depth hoar 12cm up from ground.
