Comments
A breakable 1cm crust on top, failed easily on cut from behind as well as ski tests. Only a concern if it get buried. There were 3 other crusts:
Down 25 cm a temperature crust, less than 1cm thick
Down 33 cm, 1 cm crust. Got none planar breaks
Down 47cm, a mega crust, over 30cm thick
Layer in between these crusts seem to be bonding well at this elevation
