Larsen

Went out to assess the conditions and maybe do mellow tree runs. Did a ski cut on a small N slope and some handshears that showed easy result down ~ 50cm. Felt a whumpf shortly after while skinning. Approaching treeline we saw naturals on lee side (N) of pretty much every steeper knolls there was. Sure enough the whole slope we wanted to check out flushed with crowns up to 1 meter. Went back to cabin..

Base Building

Good base building. At a lower elevation alpine feature 15 - 25cm moist soft snow on the surface skied well. A supportive base underneath is so far made up of a few crusts and rounds moist to ground - sticking to lower angle and lee features for the best coverage. Suspect higher alpine will be a drier and we still need more data on the structure of the layers up there.

<p>30-40 cm of beautiful light dry snow, followed up by extreme outflow winds around 2 am last night. </p>

<p>We went for a Robinson Ridge sled mission today. We rode up to almost 1200 m before getting turned around due to poor visibility. There was up to 55 cm of storm snow from the past few days. We played in the low angle meadows avoiding the larger steeper slopes. Compression tests revealed a couple storm snow interfaces but we were unable to locate the Jan 9th or the Dec 23 persistent weak layers where we were digging. Our main concern in the snowpack today was storm slab and windslab. </p>

<p>phone died before could get a good photo. Solid wind crust and wind slabs (5-10 cm thick) and easily triggered on open slopes. Super high winds as well. </p>
