Dispatchers trees and Ursus trees.
Snowing lightly all day, generally calm or light winds with some sudden
westerly gusts to moderate although up higher it seemed to blowing
harder. -12 at our high point.
About 150cm of snow at treeline, 120 cm on top of the Nov raincrust.
The entire upper part of the snowpack was fairly low density with no
major layers noted with probing.
A couple of size 1 soft slabs on steep rollovers in the immediate lees
of ridges. Some moderate sized cornices hanging around. No activity
today in the alpine that we could see in a couple of hours of decent
visibility although the light was flat. Overall, in the treeline areas
we skied things felt fairly benign although the light snow would be
transported by winds and form slabs fairly quickly.
Ski quality: super excellent. Cold smoke!
