Quick report

Good enough snow coverage to skin from and back to car. Snow quality was light down low and in protective areas free from Friday and Saturday winds. On ridge lines and exposed areas a stout surface crust made riding heinous. Luckily for us just below the ridge lines powder was prevalent and good riding conditions were found. We saw little reactive wind pockets and surface hoar . It was a beautiful windless cold day above the inversion.
