<p>Skied a quick lap in the Shames backcountry today. At 1200m, there is a 3cm thick somewhat breakable melt freeze crust under about 10cms of new low density snow on all aspects. The crust becomes firmer the lower you go; skiing above 1400m or so is probably pretty good -- but good luck getting a viz window with this unsettled weather</p>
