Quick Observation
Chilly grey day up high, with just enough visibility to get some good turns in. Had to play the aspect up higher as the thin (~2cm) breakable sun crust on steeper South facing slopes made skiing tricky with early season legs and lots of ground cover to avoid....
Snowpack
Fairly healthy early season snowpack, up to 120cm ~2100m. Appears to be settled and right-side up, with not much cohesion (=nice pow turns) in the upper 15-30cm and some surface faceting at higher elevations on Polar aspects. Due south has a thin sun crust (1-2cm) that was breakable and made for awkward but not impossible skiing. Only observations on South were between 2200m and 1900m.
