Comments

Great day seeing what the higher elevation depths are looking like. Great skiing roughly 100m below ridge top to 1850m in open areas less affected by wind. More coverage is needed in denser trees and to fill in the cut blocks. HS of 70cm at 2150m with 27cm above the crust. Top ~5cm formed a moderately stiff wind slab in exposed areas. I found distribution varied with elevation and tree density. Very easy to ski through.
