<p>Started in the morning few degree below 0 with ice pellets precipitation. Turned to rain after a few hours and stop a bit after 12. A rain crust start to form below 1300m. Above 1300 was just really wet and sticky. Surprisingly, the snow felt pretty stable and felt like it was bonding relatively well. No sign of cracking but one relatively loud whumpf. We stick to low consequence terrain.</p>
