Looking pretty bad at the pass lake cabin. The top 40cms were a thick, heavy, wet sludge and skiing conditions were rough. Snow dries out below 40cms and there is a thick ice crust down 60cms then facets to 90cms were there is another even thicker ice crust. Surprisingly got no results in out compression tests with an exception of a sudden drop right on the wet to dry interface but super resistant and couldn't actually get anything to slide on the column. No signs of any recent avalanches. Temperatures averaged at about +4° with a lot of +2°. It quickly became really quite bad out there for skiing...
