Snowpack

Skied between 1950m and 1500m. Snow depth ranges from 150-280. Widespread wind effect down to exposed tree line areas. Lots of Wind press and windslabs in immediate lee features and beneath convexities. Cracking was observed in the typical areas. Found a more prominent melt freeze crust down 60cm on an alpine morainal feature. Another partied triggered a size 1 windslab, East aspect shallow convexity in Alpine around 1800m. Lots of old natural activity, some looked like it stepped down to the Dec 25 interface and other activity was windslab 20-40cm deep. Great skiing out there! Great skiing!
