Snowpack
Snow depth was 95cm. New snow was 30cm. Several ice layers at 15cm, 30cm, 35cm and 45cm. Right side up snowpack. Bottom 30cm were unconsolidated facets. Skied 30degree slopes with now avalanches or movement observed. No sluffing on steeper sections. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at the depth and quality of snow. Fresh snow was medium density.
