Got around in Calazon today, unfortunately a lot of the recent precipitation came as rain, and there’s two hard breakable crusts in our top 40 cm of new snow, which made for mediocre riding but easy climbs. Day was warm and mostly sunny, but very windy in the afternoon. Could see very large drifts/cornices forming in the alpine, although no new avalanches visible from the cutblocks. Definitely into hero snow season.
