Great load of new snow, increasing with elevation with 55cm of available snow over a first weak layer in the snowpack (this is below the Dome at ≈1250m) and a HS over 320cm. The 55cm + is mostly powder although feels like it dropped the wrong side up. There’s definitely a difference in density throughout the new snow and feels like it needs time to settle down properly. Some wind slabs were felt as well, just below the Dome again. Happy equinox,
