warm soggy moist

<p>Warm and moist conditions making ski quality not so awesome but soft at least. We found 10cm on a crust till about 2000m; from that elevation, the snow got deeper and the crust started to disappear. The big surface hoar layer from late January was down 75cm. It was hard to get it to slide in our snowpack test but once we got it to go, it came off like a cash register. Triggering this layer would produce a large avalanche.</p>
