Boom Lake Chute

Surface hoar developing in sheltered areas, ~2-4 cm at the lake, <1cm at 2000m. At 2000m snowpack was around 60-75cm deep, with the temperature crust around 30-35cm deep. The bottom third of the snowpack is faceted junk. Skied the first skiable chute on the Mt Bell side of Boom lake. Rode stale powder that was around boot top depth. We only skied about half of the treed portion of the chute, as the snow looked even thinner up top on the steeper convex slopes. The shorter trees are still more exposed, making the skiing a bit tighter but still fun.
