Spooky like a PNW Reef Break in the Fog

Today was spooky low down and on east aspects. Lots of whomping in the open well below treeline. We stayed on low angle unconnected slopes to reach the alpine/ridge top. As we went up conditions seem to improve and hand sheer test went for easy planner to hard and a break. However, after skiing the first line we went to check another spot and were able to get shooting cracks that ran 30-40 feet up a small steep east facing slope so we went back to the first area and skied another lap on a true south feature. We dug a pit at 2000m in a shaded SE facing 29 degree sloped and had CT14 and ECTX but we only isolated down to the first crust for the test. Fun day, but tricky conditions and more surface hoar is widespread in the alpine above 2100m.
