- <p>Wind loading and drifting in specific locations. Primarily ridge line. </p>
Once again, great riding exist in wind sheltered areas. Cool temps and micro storms are keeping us afloat for now.
Ridge top conditions are brutal
Sunshine and 6" of powder.
Snowpack
The 1" of new snow from last night's sleeper storm was appreciated. In wind sheltered areas the upper 6" skis great. In most other slopes between 7000' and 7500' there is a stout lingering crust just below this soft snow. The new snow interface is a mixture of decomposing fragments and buried surface hoar. Though not particularly reactive or consequential, added loading could create problems in the future. Ridge lines are plagued with wind related problems.
