Comments
Made an ascent up a slide path on Mount Fox. Areas in which had seen sun during the day were good skiing as hard layer was more than foot below the snow surface. Further up the slide path where no/limited sunlight can reach the surface the snow was boilerplate firm. Made for less than ideal turns. No whumpfing or any signs of instability, even in areas of higher loading.
