Excellent ski quality this weekend on Forum Ridge with 20-30cm of new unconsolidated snow. Some surface hoar (3-8mm) was observed in sheltered locations at TL. Previous windslab has been buried by recent snow and sits atop about 10cm of facets above the Dec 4th crust. Snowpack is 100-170cm deep at treeline. Below treeline many stumps and hidden logs are still hazards.
