  • Excellent video on rouge block technique. That's a lot of fresh, unsettled snow pack. crystals are probably still textured snow crystal links. Great technique, I haven't seen the patting on the snow shovel before. Fairly quick and too the point. Thanks!

  • Great point covered. 

  • would you ski in the conditions you observed?

  • Thank you very much this is most helpful.
