A great day to start New Year!
1st January 2024
A stunning day, little wind but very cold with quite a lot of ice underfoot at lower levels. Skied from roadside, initially very firm but becoming softer underfoot with altitude.

A carpet of surface hoar at higher levels. Although poorly bonded it was not particularly deep however, this may change as this layer is redistributed into sheltered locations and covered with new snowfall. A good reason to read the avalanche reports!

Other than the surface layers the snowpack has been consolidating. Sam at the pit site with Mayer and Driesh in the background.
