Saddleback to Surprise pass

South facing aspects @ treeline. New crust layer at surface with a dusting of snow on it. Was getting shooting cracks and whumphing just above treeline on sub 25 deg terrain. CTM 15 and CTE 21 both failing on the march 15th layer, @ approx 50cm. North facing slopes , Alpine to treeline Previously unskied terrain held blower pow, and still really good to low elevation.
