About 30cm new snow at TL, 15-20 cm moist new snow at road elevation since Tuesday. We did a quick test profile at 1750m in the bowl N of the cabin. Height of snow was 225cm. Thin rain crust down 70cm, (Nov 27 maybe). CTH 25 just under the crust, Sudden planar. Storm snow weaknesses in the top 45 cms. Didn't see any signs of avalanche activity nor any obvious signs of instability. Minimal wind affect in the alpine and excellent skiing down to within about 200m vertical from the road where the snow got a bit heavy. Road not plowed but has seen a fair bit of traffic lately.
