Comments
The snow pack in the area was shallower than else where in the Rockies 90-130cm at treeline. The tempature crust ended at 1750m and found 20-30 cm of sugary facets sitting on a supportive midpack. Around a few boulders in shallower spots the facets go to ground. Great skiing on the way down in wind protected areas. Tougher skinning slipping backwards in the facets.
