Low density dust on high density crust!

10cms of low density pow on a very supportive 10cm rain crust. Ski quality was better than our very low expectations. looks like the rain produced lots of wet slab action up to sz3. Test pit at 1750m on NW slope HS 103 got a CTM11 SC down 43 on the mid November crust which seems to be faceting out. We also had an ECTP 17 down 43cm on that faceting crust suspected to be the mid November layer. We also observed surface hoard up to 5mm on top of the late November layer down 33cm with no activity in the tests. Not sure how well these tests represent current hazard level as isolated columns reduce the bridging affect of the thick rain crust on top, but might be something to keep in mind as things continue to stack up!
