Spent the weekend working at Callaghan Country
Lodge. Saturday was really deep trail breaking, and almost too deep to
ski. Today the snow settled significantly and made for much easier
travel. Saw no recent natural avalanches (lots of mid storm rubble
though). Could not ski cut any of the usual test slopes. At 5500'
there was a moderate compression test result down 30cm and another
moderate/hard down 50cm - both planar. All in snow of F and 4F
density. At tree line I rated the hazard as Considerable. The
Alpine was looking wind hammered and slabby, we got to 6500' turned around (due
to not fun looking skiing) and skiied down in a protected pocket. The
skiing in tree line is very excellent.
