Disappointing storm totals in the cottonwoods, skiing close to 30 degrees under intermittent blue bird & light flurries. Very heavy supportable crust with 7 inches of fresh that began to consolidate as the day went on with some dry/wet sluffs. Definitely enough to knock you off your feet and pretty clean fracture. Fairly slow moving and was triggered at 30 or less.
