Biggie’s back online: SNOW

With the 20cms of new snow, the strong winds and the rain crust from last week, started mellow and ramped it up from there as test slopes and slope cuts showed the snow was binding well to that rain crust. The rain crust has gotten much thinner then last week when it was close to a cm! The only woomphs heard were when on cancave test slopes of 40 degrees or more and cutting the bottom where the compressive support was. Yet nothing was sliding. Even slope cutting there were small cracks (the depth of the new snow but not down to the rain crust) but couldn’t get anything to slide. The wind was transporting a lot of snow, so much in some areas that the skin track was gone each ascent. And the leeward slopes had up to 55 cms of light transported snow, not forming any dense slabs as of today The snow depth now on the rain crust is 35 cms on average now making for some great turns Enjoy Ullr
