Quick Observation

Went for a walk in Black Prince area, skied from top of tree triangl (2300m) down the SE path on rock hard ice @ 1130am, softened up around 1950m to the bottom flats @ 1850m. Did a couple laps up the mellow fan below the small icefall NE aspect , much better snow there but started to get pretty wet around 1400pm. Still a couple open patches to be skied on lookers left of this feature.

Snowpack

Noted 10-15cm wind slab on Lee slope sitting on top of sun crust, easy to break away. Below that was another crust 20cm down followed by a 120cm fairly dense mid pack before hitting the depth hoar for the last 50 cm. Unreactive CT but could see how shallow areas would trigger this DPS
