Today we rode Seaton basin. We've been keeping an eye on the snowpack here since the beginning of the season. While most of the NW inland has a persistent surface hoar layer down approximately 60 cm, we haven't been seeing this layer as widespread or reactive in the Seton area. Today's snow profiles had no significant results. There were a few old (48-72 hrs), small, loose point release avalanches out of steep terrain that didn't pull out any slabs and acted as good slope tests. These results gave us the confidence to move and play in more complex terrain. The snow was good and the riding was fun. Braaap braaap

N aspects skied well with 8cm of new snow on the existing firm snow surface. S aspects at treeline skied ok with new snow sitting on a thin breakable crust. Snow depth ranged from 45cm on N aspect at 1650m to 100cm in sheltered N aspect at treeline. Crusty and sporty below treeline.
We did not observe sign of recent instability but we did have to dance around old tree bombs and pinwheels on most slopes from the previous warming cycle.
Temps remained just below freezing and winds were very calm all day with infrequent light gusts from the S.
Continued lack of valley bottom precip may make the first couple km of sled access very exciting in the near future. The existing sheet of ice is not ideal for traction or cooling.

Respect your alders
Today we went sled skiing at Seaton. It was snowing lightly throughout the day, with mostly calm conditions.
We did not see any new avalanches, although we couldn’t see all of the alpine terrain.
We saw the use of many treeline slopes by snowmobiles.
There is about 15 cm of new snow from this last storm. We did not find any slab quality in this new snow and enjoyed some nice turns on north-facing slopes.
We were able to find a layer of weak, feathery crystals (known as surface hoar) at treeline, buried 30 cm deep. This layer did not produce propagating Extended Column Test (ECT) results today, but it does still fail in Column Tests (CT). We are still monitoring this layer.

Some great powder riding in sheltered areas in the trees high up today. At lower elevations in the meadows, theres only 60cm, so still a bit shallow. In the alpine we found 115cm (but the depths were variable). We noticed some cracking between sled tracks and when we dug a quick test pit, found a reactive wind slab that was 25cm thick. We decided to avoid steep wind loaded alpine slopes, which wasnt hard to do as there was so much other good riding around.

Seaton
80cm of snow in a meadow on se aspect at 1600m. Local wind from north west creating hard wind slab on south east aspects and cross loading north aspects. Some small pockets released in large blocky chunks where steep enough, and lots of whumpfing/shooting cracks where less steep.
Much of the snow on the north side of the ridge was wind affected, but still found pockets of buried surface hoar down about 30cm where it hadn't been scoured yet.
