Skiing quality was good, but new storm snow is consolidating and the powder is becoming heavier. Avoided areas with obvious wind affect. Dug a test pit out of curiosity. Results as follows: Elevation: 2400m Aspect: NE Snow Depth: 105cm Angle: 31 degrees Air Temp: -4.5 Celsius Results: No reaction in test pit. When the test column was pulled by hand afterwards, no layer sheered - the entire column slid at ground.
