The 4 inches of new snow was enough to improve riding conditions on the N end of the compass if the slope angle was not too steep, the south facing had a stout melt freeze crust that the new snow could not hide, or improve much. Skied West Monitor first, skied pretty well but did do a little bottom feeding in the steeper terrain. South Monitor was next, like West Monitor it also had not been skied. South Monitor has a lower slope angle that West Monitor and skied much better with little or no bottom feeding noted. No instabilities noted in todays travels. No real need to dig a pit, been to this terrain enough to have a good idea of the underlying snow pack structure , and not enough new load to change things. Pics, bonding of the new snow in West Monitor, low clouds rolling in as I arrived back at the top, Quiet day on the PC Ridgeline for a Saturday.
