Snow Conditions

crusty, windAffected, hard

Significant rain crust from Feb 9 storm everywhere we went - about 50 mm thick. Made for fast skinning and slow (bad) skiing. Striations from rain (pic 2) running down all slopes with a bit of wind blown snow (25mm) between the ice ridges. Pic 1 shows typical avalanche activity on all steeper slopes and all aspects as a result of Feb 9 storm - this one on big top was cornice triggered. Slightly softer on south facing slopes in the afternoon but would freeze up again at night (-3 night, +3 day)
