RECENT OBSERVATION

Friday

There has been rain for the first time this year : (
There is 2cm of wet new snow sitting on a melt freeze layer which is 2cm thick.
We got easy results on CT on the 6th tap, down 32cm but it was poor shear quality. On the second CT we got Medium result, 18th tap at 42cm BRK as well.
Extended column test showed inconclusive results with a partial break on the column down 42cm.
With the storm heading our way we should be seeing 30-70cm over the 4 days starting Sunday.

We should see snow down to 1400m at the beginning of the storm then it will lower down to 900m. Get out and enjoy, but remember it will be wet and sticky.

Snow continuing  through to Sunday at this stage,  get out and find those fresh POWDER stashes!
