- <p>Persistent weak layer, old rotten November snow.</p>
I was surprised at the quality of the riding today. Generally, we found 79cm-95cm of snow above 7900'.
I am leery of the steep, upper elevation, cold northly slopes; the rest of the compass seems to be well on its way to healing with plenty of moisture in the lower snowpack.

- <p>Based on observation, concers lie both on top and below the firm melt freeze crust in the snowpack. The wet snow below this crust seems to be setting up nicely. I am leery of the steep, cold northly slopes </p>
35cm of great cold low-density powder on top of a stout melt-freeze crust. This 10cm melt-freeze crust has a significant amount of 2mm+ grauple on top. Directly below the crust is a very rotten layer of large facets. All snow in the lower 45 cm, below this crust is very wet.
