Quick report
The old surface crust on solar aspects was both supportable and held and edge so skied okay even with minimal amounts of new snow. N- NW slopes had almost no crust at the N/O interface making the new snow feel deep and skied exceptionally. Visibility was low all day so we only got observations within our bubble. Test slopes, hand pits and skin track kick turns all showed good bonding at the N/O interface. Biggest concern was the active wind loading around usual suspects: ridge lines, around cliffs, and cross loaded gulleys.
