Comments
Skiing on SE aspects but with lots of micro-terrain. Conditions varied from 10+ cm of light powder to thin wind skin to 10+ cm wind slab (much rarer). Surprisingly good skiing but the solid crust 10-15cm down was evident. Started to warm significantly around noon with the snow starting to moisten quickly. This wetter snow was starting to move easily in an isolated area on a steep skintrack where the buried crust was particularly icy.
