Mild temperature inversion today, -4 valley btm -1 at ridge top. 100cm of snow at upper Tree line (2000m) Surface hore standing on the surface size 2-4 mm at Tree line, 5-15mm below Tree line, especially where the valley fog has been hanging around 1700m. Variable thickness sun crust on west and south aspects.
Snow pack has settled well and carried skies with ski penetration 5cm or less. Oct? Crust sits down 40cm.
