Comments

Was suprised to find more new snow than expected (20+) sitting on top of the facets and surface hoar. Decent inversion seemed to be causing the new snow to be more of cohesive slab at the top of our runs. Large shooting cracks and settlements were observed. We stayed on mellow slopes and had a great day.
