Comments

went to try any ski ramp peak back behind oxo. -25 at the parking lot 8am then -11 or so end of day. somewhat of an inversion it was warm and no wind up at tree line. Unfortunately turned around at the base of the ramp. It seemed there was 20-30 cm on top of a very slidy and very well defined layer which we found on multiple aspects. there were inconsistent points where shooting cracks were observed at that depth which was usually 15-25cm down and not confidence inspiring. top snow was light and unconsolidated generally.
