Unexpected sweet turns at 5040

Riding quality was:

Good

Snow conditions were:

• Crusty
• Hard
• Powder

We rode:

• Alpine slopes
• Convex slopes
• Mellow slopes
• Steep slopes
• Sunny slopes

The day was:

• Cloudy
• Foggy
• Sunny
• Warm

Very distinct layers of snow: ~10 cms fresh, followed by ~25 cms of hard packed, and then extremely hard packed/ice that's difficult to dig into.

There were many signs of heat effects on sunny slopes from previous warmer days. No new signs of heat effects.

Some minor sluffing from the new snow on steeper slopes - natural and human triggered.
