Skied a range of aspects around Circle and Decker Lake, including the Decker N Glacier and Decker S.

In line with other reports we found ~30cm of new snow on a boilerplate crust. In exposed ridgetop areas this crust was on the surface and hard to edge. N aspects stayed cold and the riding was good, but the sun packed a punch and by noon the S aspects were wet and heavy, with new wet loose activity observed (see pic). A number of very large crowns from the last cycle were visible, including one off Disease ridge that appeared to be less than 24(?)hrs old.
