Left parking lot at 700am good freeze and supportive snow and easy skinning. Sunny all day. On the upper South slopes there was 30 to 60cm of dense settle snow on Fridays crust. Within the storm snow down 30 cm was a crust/ facet layer? the was giving moderate hand shears. Some cracking 10 cm down on the upper slopes where it was hot.

Skied down at 145pm got lots of pin wheeling and one large human sized snow ball chased me down. Skiing was heavy hot pow. Got sticky halfway down.

Supportive and mildy sticky on the way out. Should have got an earlier start.
