<p>Nothing too noteworthy that hadn't been said. Riding quality was decent, better than expected, but with the caveat that venturing into any open terrain was sketchy, and any treed terrain was very shallow, would recommend waiting a while before hitting this drainage let alone getting up high. Lots of settlements throughout, some cracking, even with very conservative route selection. Getting out of valley bottom some aspects quickly turned to firm windslab (down 15) sitting on weak facets and seemed very sensitive with large propogation potential. Less wind affected areas had no load bearing potential, trail breaking very difficult, shark hitting easy. For curiosity sake, even though our minds were made up, we did a quick test in non wind area southerly aspect near treeline, CT3SP down 40+/- on presumably November 25., then on 5 near ground. Yup, it's weak. </p>
