Raft
We checked out the trails at Raft Mountain South and had the place to ourselves. Excellent grooming still. We did not observe any avalanche activity. Snow was heavily sun affected and solar aspects had a breakable crust into the alpine.
trophy mtn
recent snow and wind loading at treeline was reactive to skier traffic and showed signs of propagation. Ski quality was excellent below treeline and wind sheltered areas
Spahats
20 cm new denser snow over previous low density storm snow.
East Raft
Up to 40 cm cold dry storm snow - overlies crust below 1850 m. Top 15-20 cm reactive as very soft slabs on Jan 31 interface, failing naturally on all steep unsupported terrain (road cut banks). Storm snow had more slab properties from slight wind effect in open areas above treeline.
Raft mountain tree ride
Enjoyed a good day in the trees where the snow is less wind affected. These two natural avalanches would have came down later afternoon on Jan 28…glad to see no tracks in either spot.
Road 80
Warm & mostly sunny day in the Trophies. Wet snow up to about 1700m, somewhat heavy powder (20cm ski pen) from there up. We skied some sub-alpine slopes that were pretty bony with some wind effect, but they skied pretty fast and we had fun, stayed on <30degrees slopes. We heard one woomph at 2100m and felt settling in open glades skinning up. Skiing down through the trees was fun as well and we skied steeper slopes without issues. Conditions are typical of what you normally see in November up there. Still lots of holes and early season hazards out Sastrugi seemed to indicate eastern wind at least where we were. Little wind and overall very pleasant conditions in the sub-alpine. The road was a sheet of ice at the turnoff, but gravel had been put down to the staging area when we came down. 130cm HS at 1700m and 170cm HS at 2100m.
Road 80 - Raft.
Was up in the same area two weeks ago and since that time there is over a foot of new snow and it is much more set up. We set off two 8 foot slides on convex slopes due to side hilling. The slides broke at the top of the convex. Great tree riding.
Raft mountain tree riding
Raining at the bottom but still snowing up top although it was quite warm. Still bottomless in some sheltered areas but a bit more of a crust layer about 30cm down in the more open exposed spots. We stayed in the trees between 1800 and 2000 m and had a fun blast considering the low base that varied between 90-105cm
Rd 80
Clearwater recon
Recon ski in some dense trees below treeline. North aspect. Light wind. 5 cm light snow through the day. No solar effect. Temp approx -8. No signs of much warming. Snow tests: 1850 m elevation, HS 160, ECTN, see pictures for profile, CT moderate down 150 cm on facets. One whumpf on flat area with 2 people standing close. No cracking. Pillows did not slide off. Great day out.
