Ski cuts today in unsupported snow above recently cut cat-road triggered localized 2' deep soft slabs on layer of buried surface hoar. Same thing happened nearby on Friday.
A nice fresh crop of feathery surface hoar crystals grow on top of today's nice powder.

- <p>a layer of buried surface hoar was obvious in several pits. On off aspect sunny slopes (SE-SW) the SH layer is capping a sun-crust. </p>
Fine powder riding conditions, but south facing slopes were sun affected.
