Comments
Highly variable surface conditions. Over 30 cms of very light semi faceted snow in pockets changing to a 3 cm thick weak crust over changing to 5 cms of regular fresh snow over the crust in the span of 20 ft. The foot of fresh last night will likely slide on highly skied steeper areas like first pump and its east ridge, these areas were 90% tracked out and the tracks turned into bad crust if there wasnt a crust there before. Watch for quickly changing snowpack conditions
