Comments

Good riding conditions between TL and BTL, in open exposed ridge top where old wind surfaces are present skiiability is varied. 28cm HST bonded reasonably to old wind surfaces, low density, and not showing any signs of slab behavior. South side of round has a wafer (1.5-2cm) sun crust on the surface where tree cover allowed solar input yesterday.

Some limited sloughing in steeper shots.

Temps -1.8 at 12pm at 1400m, HS 3+ meters.
