Spent 4 days at the Farm cabin, March 4-7. Cold and sunny most of the time, down to -20. As the forecast mentioned, there were storm snow interfaces at about 20 and 60 cm. Not much settlement, so we were sinking down to the 60 cm one. Hollow at the 60 cm interface near treeline, so we played it safe there. Not a problem below treeline. Alpine was windloaded so we avoided it. Really good skiing in the steep north facing glades, but too deep to get speed up on flatter terrain.
