today. It is starting to look and feel like winter, but still bony and little
snow in the trees. -6.0 at 1300 hrs at 1600 m. Winds moderate and gusty from
the South. Moderate snow transport is starting to sculpt the alpine. HS ist
still only 90-120 cm at this elevation. We observed no natural avalanches at
all, not even in the steep cross-loaded gullies above the Right Twin Fall. The
recent wind-transported snow reacts to ski cutting. Shallow snowpack areas are
strongly facetted. Skiing quality in the protected lower gully was good. This
is probably not so as soon as there is wind exposure.
