Comments
Great ski quality (low density low cohesion) with some surface stuffing evident but only to the top 5cm. We were able to ski steep convex micro terrain (not willing to push into bigger terrain) with no signs of slab formation. Below 1250m the previous spike in freezing level made for a crust ~30cm down but above this elevation things were DEEP and bottomless.
