During a set-up day at Burnie, I skied to the Solitaire Meadows. it was snowing heavily most of the day. The lodge received 23 cm today and sits at 219. I heard several medium sized avalanches from the Hut Cliffs, but ski cutting of steep pockets led only to sluffing. The temperatures are rising and I expect natural avalanches to run, but could see very little.

The snow coverage is very deep for this time of the year. No alder are showing and the creeks are filled in.
