Log Cabin

We were interested in comparing snow stability between today and last weekend. The wind has had a significant effect at many elevations including the upper treed part of Log Cabin's cutline. We were not interested in the East aspect because of how compacted/scoured the snow had become due to the wind. Some areas on the NNE aspect between 1050m and 1200m had barely 15cm of snow of wind compacted snow while others were 140cm+ (full pole lenght). There were a lot of ribs (deposits of snow from cross loading). The wind just above tree line was nil to light South in the afternoon. Ski cuts on a variety of small features on E to NNE aspects had no result. We found some fantastic powder in sheltered areas and amongst the trees on the N aspect. It made for short enjoyable laps. There were 4 other groups of people out there today. Nice chatting with you and planning how we all want to use the territory slopes, especially with the potential for remote triggers.

13:30 Light to Moderate S Winds which diminished to Nil around 14:00. 15:00 -5C at Log Cabin NNE 1200m. 16:00 Light N winds. 17:00 +2C in Log Cabin Parking lot.
