Pretty firm

Skied into the area between The Crags and Baldy Rocks today. Solar aspects were crusty with some dust on top. For the non solar aspects, anything out in the open was pretty firm wind buff. Skiing on this wind buff was mostly supportive but you could break through the top layer unexpectedly. In denser trees where the wind was less of a factor and no sun had ever kissed the surface the wind buff was softer and made for enjoyable skiing. No signs of instability on our tour. Winds ranged from strong and gusty to non-existent. Mostly sunny but the snow didn’t get sticky.
