Comments

Very crusty at Green Mountain in the morning, but as the day and slopes warmed in the sun this created great slushy corn conditions! The crust is supportive to skis, and was edge-able on the up. Low snow; probing ~30cm on an open face near the summit at approximately 1400m. No signs of instability throughout the day. T-shirt weather and clear!
