Snowpack check-in from Erewhon Hut ❄️⛷
It’s been a busy week up here with some incredible powder skiing, but there’s plenty going on under our feet.
We’re seeing laminar crusts and facets in the mid-pack, facets sitting on a thick rain crust, and surface hoar on top — all layers we’ll be watching closely as the next storm rolls in. Stay sharp, ski smart.
(Sorry about the lens flare — I’ll take more care positioning the camera next time!)
