Great conditions and snow! 130cm total snowpack 25cm storm snow CTS1, non-planar failure on the crust at 55cm Harder rain crust at 80cm Snowpack looking the right side up with snow getting denser towards the bottom. Conditions were outstanding! Also skiied out Singing Pass which had very good coverage and conditions, didn't have to take our skis off once (though there were 2 or 3 creeks to sidestep over).
