Snow Conditions

Drove to 450m where the snow became too deep to drive. Skinning was lovely but hard work track setting with 20-30cm ski penetration. Decided to call it after eating lunch at 1300m. Winds picked up and we noticed the light snow being transported to east facing slopes. Skiing down early season hazards were still prevalent and small slab slides were easily triggered on convex slopes.
