Found some buried surface hoar

Around 30cm of new snow on top of warmer snow that had refrozen into a supportable surface even though the trail breaking felt deep and the boot pen was 50cm. We did locate intact 3/5 buried surface hoar under the new snow and used a test pit to collect information on a few different layers. Overall good quality riding conditions with the occasional submarine into the un-consolidated layers below as we stuck to mellow terrain and avoided terrain traps.
