Heavy crusted layer on all aspects. Be careful for cornice breaks and wind slabs. The sun and temperature has hit the snow pretty hard, but some stuff to be found on the North aspects and sheltered areas.
Super big storm in the forecast for tomorrow (Tuesday/Mar 10). 86km/hr. winds in the forecast, and dumping. Freezing level will be quite high, so we will see what the snow gods will bring us after the storm has broken. Good day to hit the onsen tomorrow.
