<p>Good ski quality. Difficult skinning, with ski penetration of up to 60cm in places. Easily able to ski cut sz1 windslab/stormslab on lee features at treeline, small slides propagating but barely running on features tested. Snowpit attached. Did two compression tests which saw easy failures at the base of the snowpack. Widespread whumpfing. </p>
