Quick Observation

Skiing was quite good but widespread wind affect made for grabby skiing. Some shooting cracks in exposed areas and snow was generally better in the BTL, but low coverage meant sharky skiing down low.

Snowpack

Treeline glad away from trees. 28 degree slope. ETCP 1 down 10 in 4F+ wind affected storm snow (repeatable). CTM 11 RP down 40 on SH (3mm) (repeatable). Dec 4th MFcr down 50. Pencil+ and 7cm thick. Facets above and below, but crust is bridging and did not produce results unless isolated. When isolated, crust produced ECTP 8 below the crust on FC (size 1-2).
