Skied up towards Burstall Pass on April 25. Crust on solar aspects, and 5-10
cm of skiable but slightly moist powder on north and east aspects. Fast travel
on a well packed trail.
Evidence of an avalanche cycle to size 3 on solar aspects in the alpine, from
the previous few days of warm temps and clear skies. We had a mix of sun,
cloud and convective snow showers, which kept temps cooler and resulted in
minimal sun affect.
No slab avalanches observed on north or east aspects. 185cm's of snow at 2150
m.
