I got up today to some terrain topping out over 10k. On my way out, I discovered one small repeater that ran on a very steep NE open face during our last cycle. While skinning up through very spare trees I dug and found close to 4 meters of snow. My ECT failed to produce any propagation: ECTN 23 BRK 77 cm below the surface. The largest wave in the last set is has now setup solid and there is about 12 inches of settled snow from the last wave on top producing excellent supportive skiing in steep terrain. There were quite a few roller balls in the steeps and minimal sluffing on slopes 45+ degrees. Cornices are at an all-time high right now making for some difficult entrance exams.
