<p>Rain crust ~20 cm down (didn't measure precisely) went up as far as we did (1770m). Snow on top of the crust was mostly uncohesive, but at higher elevations felt "slabby" in places and we observed shooting cracks while skinning and triggered some small (Sz ~0.5) slab releases on microterrain while skiing a W aspect in BTL in trees.</p>
