A Contrast to Yesterday

17th February 2016

Its always hard to believe how quickly the conditions can change – Yesterday we experienced 60-70 mph winds at 600 metres – today its pretty calm – The snowpack is mostly refrozen and improved in stability but some moderate instabilities persist below the deep windslab in steep places.
