Snowmobile AST1 Course in South Rain Guage: tiptoed around the upper end of treeline elvation in simple terrain. 25cm new snow on rain crust. Total height of snow varied between 80cm-125cm. Signs of recent wind loading and cornice growth. No results on snowpack compression tests. Still early season riding conditions but improving out there.
