Up into the Beauforts for a morning ski. Snowline at about 750m, with 100 or so metres of travel beyond this elevation of light snow on a previously bare road, making for less than ideal (but shortlived) travel. Good coverage beyond that.

Dust on crust (approximately 15cm of new snow). Thin snowpack in this area, only 85cm base at 1250m. Expect more up higher, but we played in the mellow treeline due to wind, low visibility and limited time. Intense snowfall between 11am and 1pm produced another 10cm, and was still snowing when we exited.

Some sluffing on steep rollovers on the melt freeze crust.
