Skied the area today with 2 guests.

Avalanches: just sluffing off the Alpine faces.

Weather: temp around -5, strong westerly ridge top winds in the morning(but
not moving snow locally, just Ridge tops) North winds were moving snow and
creating soft slabs in the afternoon. Snowed all day resulting in 5to7cm.

Snow: 15 to 20cm low density surface snow over dense/supportive mid pack.
Late nov facet layer down around 60cm was reactive in tests, but no
settlements/cracking today. Ski cutting short, low consequence slopes up to
40 degrees produced to results. Nov rain crust was observed 20cm off the
ground at 2150m. Average snowpack of 110cm. Crust below 2050m now buried
5to10 down affects Ski quality. Excellent Ski quality above 2050!!

Be safe, have fun!
