Quick Observation
decent skiing at brandywine. drove up to about 1000m, right before the second big switch back after the upper lot turn off. low clearance 4wd with chains was fine. skinned from the car, covered most of the way with just a few small stream crossing on the road, never needed to take of skis. snow was noticeably better above the meadow though viz was very flat light so lots of touch skiing on the way down. Felt a decent crust (about 2-3 cm thick) under the recent snow that was breakable with pole. S/SE faces felt more windaffected than other faces, crust was harder and icier. Crust was less noticeable on other faces but it was also pretty variable. Fresh snow on top (between 2-5 cm in places) was decently soft and powdery. Skiing down was variable but decent. a few cms of powder all the way back to road with variable different crusts underneath. A couple good turns but base is still pretty thin and sharks were around but hidden, take care!
