Visibility in ALP was marginal today with unsettled, windy and stormy weather. Approx 3cm new in ALP over Thursday night over the previous 30cm+ accumulation made for spectacular end of season conditions. Wind picked up below TL and increased to mod-gusting Strong at Hamilton Lake. Some unreactive (10cm) soft slab forming on way up to Right Coat Tail Col in subtle and obvious catch areas. Thin snow over crust on solar. Skiing saw amazing 35cm ski pen, minor sluffing on short steep pitch in middle of bowl at top, then more notable top 15cm sluffing with warming temps (on steeps) at 1900m.
