Comments
The few wind drifts we did find would only break around your skis and not propagate. The snow surface has weakened and we were getting widespread sluffing in the top few cms of snow on steeper aspects. Deep and stable snowpack with the only concerns isolated wind drifts and sluffing on steep, sustained slopes.
The weak snow surface is something to watch this coming week with small amounts of snow possible on Sunday followed by a week of cold temperatures.
