I was up there yesterday (the 20th). 75cm at the summmit, 100cm on Ripple Ridge. Skied the south aspect and then north back to the highway. Snow was quite heavy but the top few turns were sweet with pretty good coverage. Exposed south side of the ridge was wind affected. Dug a hasty pit and found some faceting near ground from the early October storm, but otherwise seemed fairly consolidated. With a bit of fresh, drier snow it's gonna be good...

2012-11-22 23:28:49Thanks. We were on Cornice Ridge today (wind affected in the open) but the E side was good skiing with H24 10cm. We found HS ranged from 90-110cm. A few whumphs in the flats but god consolidation on the E aspects we skiied. Temps -3 at parking lot at 10am and +1 at 1430. Skiied all the way to the hwy but definitely a bit bony lower down.
