Snow Conditions

crusty, windAffected

Sold refreeze with 4 cm on top. Strong NW winds strip the snow off north aspects and deposited on south aspects. We found 5-10 cm of unreactive wind slab on south aspects. Most avalanche paths have refrozen debris in it and better skiing can be had on lower angle terrian. Burly smooth crust in the alpine will find you wishing you brought an ice axe and boot crampons for even small objectives. The bears are out.
