Snow Conditions

Perfect boot top powder conditions. Found the Feb 3 layer down 75cm at 2300m where HS was 185cm. CTH26 on the Feb 3 (RP), hardness of the weak layer above the crust was 4F+, over which the slab of increasing hardness from 4F to 1F sat. Fantastic skiing and weather with dry snow all the way down to Tak road, too bad this warmup will change that!
