- NE aspect of Ripinski meadows. Partly cloudy and slightly below freezing. Snow depth was 65 cm to heather. Weak rain crust on top. Very thin ice layer 10 cm down. More substantial layer 25 cm down. Failed on 4th blow from straight arm but did not shear. Overall the snow seemed very well bonded. Skied fast and fun up high.
