Found some amazing riding in the Moose Lake area today. HS 130 - 160cm, faceted to 60cm+, storm snow interface approx. 30cm deep is visible but not producing any results in compression test. Mid-pack is supportive, 10-15cm ski pen.
Weather
The warmer temperatures made for the perfect conditions to spend time slogging uphill in the shade.
Snowpack
Compression test produced no results - facets crumbled. 30cm past storm interface layer, 4 finger hardness. Faceted pack above and below fist hardness. Around 80cm seeing stronger pack of 4 fingers again.
Avalanche
Observed several point release loose dry avalanches on solar alpine, south facing aspects on the range above Moose Lake (road side)
