- 9.0 / Snowing lightly / Light NW winds / 15 cm fresh blower

The hype is real. Blower over previous blower. 40 cm recent storm snow bonding well to sun crust on south aspect below tree line, 70 cm settled storm snow over the February 2 rain crust.

New snow was reactive to skier traffic as 20 cm very soft slab in steep terrain - to size 1.5.

Special times yesterday. Skiing champagne in Crystal Vision, Shazam, Baldurzone, Banana Belt, and Hoods.
