Comments

We had no signs of snow consolidation / slab formation, even when skinning above unsupported slopes. Throughout the day (at the higher elevation of that slope) the snow was getting slightly wind packed and the top cm was forming a soft layer.

I don't know when they are going to stop plowing to 38.5km, but it wasn't today!
