Mostly cloudy with some breaks of sun. Light winds generally less than 5mph. Temps were 32-33 degrees F.
Observation: Turnagain
Location: Manitoba Trees (Little Manitoba)
Quick run up little Manitoba to see how the snowpack changed from yesterday. There was only a little drifting in of the skin track from 2/17. New track was approximately 15 cm deep and on steeper climbs and traverses you could feel what you compacted under your skis slip about an inch and come to rest. The top layer was laid down warm and this morning’s temps above freezing made for a close to mashed potato consistency on descent.
