Dust on Crust

<p>We went in search of low angle, sheltered, wind filled slopes and kinda sorta found them on the north side of Log Cabin. 5-10cm low density sitting on a crust that was semi supportive/breakable/breaking down. There was quite a bit of wind and it did snow 2-4cm throughout the day but not enough loose snow yet to create wind slabs. There was a few places on lee, wind loaded features where we noted that the bond between the new snow and the old melt/freeze crust from January 24/25th was really not that good. It will be interesting to see how things shape up as additional snow is laid down on top of that crust. Turns were acceptable if you followed your nose to the softer aspects.</p>
