30cm of low density snow fell at Fraser. The new snow sits over old wind effected / loaded surfaces. At 1100m the buried wind effected surfaces became supportive making uphill travel easier. The day was mild with -4c temps and calm winds. We managed our terrain to avoid wind loaded features as we were still uncertain of the reactivity of the buried windslab. The storm skiing was awesome! When we left the pass it was still snowing!!!
