Snow Report 5th February 2007

The last snow fell around 10 days ago although it is still possible to find areas of powder on sheltered north sector slopes. Otherwise there is spring snow on sunny slopes well angled towards the sun. The wind has done some damage with crust and blown snow which is challenging to ski as ever. The slopes are pretty stable now. We still kicked off a couple of small more or less hard slabs that were resting on a hard base. If the promised snow arrives this week expect an increase in instability. The ice crust from early January is also starting to reappear where the fresh snow has been stripped by the wind and there is a risk of sliding.
