Skiing glades around Hector Lake today, S aspects to 7500 ft. Snowpack was
well settled and ski quality was excellent, though a bit heavy and a tad
upsidedown above treeline. No settling or whumpfing, and no results from
ski cutting. Cold temps around -16 C throughout the day from the road to
our high point, and mainly calm winds. No solar effect noted on steep due
south facing slopes -- the sky was mostly hazy or overcast throughout the
day with a dull orange orb instead of the sun.
