Breaking the MIN drought. Still powder available if you’re venturing into the heights. Without a reliable freeze/thaw cycle this weekend, snow below 1500m is a damp breakable crust, but snow quality above 1500m was a different story. 15-20cm of new snow in Feather bowl. Well consolidated and free of wind effect, solar warming up the top sheet but far from becoming heavy, wet or upside down - made for some great skiing. Wet loose releases in many areas, including some north faces.
