Bald hills powder

<p>Great day skiing at Bald Hills. Around 0 at the car at 11am and likely -3ish at the top with a chilly wind. Cloudy with some sun peaking out, especially in the morning. Road up was broken in and easy going with quick travel possible on hardpack. Way down was fast and fun as long as you stuck to the broken trail. The snow on the side was wet and slow. Above 2000m on polar aspects the snow was amazing, felt like riding butter. About 20-40cm of dry snow (depending on wind loading) was overlying a supportive crust or other layers. On solar aspects the crust was not supportive and you plunged through into waist deep sugar. Didn’t see any signs of naturals or any instabilities. Did travel across some wind slabs in the alpine on flat ground and noticed that there was lots of wind activity on the steeper slopes. Skied nothing but mellow terrain. </p>
