<p>Rode treeline and below today. Approx 60cm of fresh powder. Dug a quick hole 60cm hole below treeline to see snowpack. Poking of the wall showed 2ft of soft layers then firmed up at about 50cm. Observed lots of wind cross loading on the alpine therefore stayed away from those slopes. Felt one whumpf all day at treeline. Snowpack depth at 1891m was 175cm. </p>
