Island Alpine Guides ran an AST course field day at Mt Washington today. Temperatures experienced between 3 and 6 degrees, a combination of sun and cloud and very little wind between 1100 and 1570 m. The snowpack had a non-supportive crust with less dense, moist snow underneath and a boot pen of 30cm. Island Alpine Guides conducts courses in this area with land use agreements in place for both Mt Washington Alpine Resort and Mosaic Forest Management.
