Snowpack

SkiBumPhilosophy.com - No new snow. Sunny about 30F. South facing was skiing good, but might be crusty tomorrow. Today we were staying really on top of the South stuff and it was soft. I dug a few hand pits. One on a Southwest wind loaded ridge above treeline that was breaking off easy on the facet layer. And two hand pits on a South slope above treeline that was hard to pull away from the facet layer. North facing was still cracking and wumpfing just getting close to it. Saw two new West and North natural avalanches that happened since yesterday afternoon in Mennehaha Basin. Both looked like wind slab avalanches.
