Quick Observation
Dropped the backside of PK summit into Westridge creek, then back up to westridge and down again. Melt-freeze crust is everywhere, which made for quick skinning and dicey turns. Crust was breakable once in the trees. Hoarfrost is growing in sunny, meadows and slopes out of the wind. Was a week old slide on Westridge, from during the warm-up last week. Minimal debris is frozen solid.
