Snowpack

Skied open meadows up to 11,200' slopes up to 35 degrees in steepness. 8-10 inches of powder over a supportable slab, HS average around 1 meter. No signs of instability noted. Wind slabs up to 10 cm thick had formed above 11,000, but were not reactive. 3-4 mm surface hoar was getting buried by new snow between 9 and 10,000 feet.
