Quick report

We started the day at the the Upper C Lot at Crystal Mountain and climbed up the Bullion Approach to the top of Bullion. We encountered a 1 Finger (1F) crust ~7cm from the surface until ~ 5600’. There was significant wind loading on Western Facing Aspects, especially at the top of surrounding peaks ~ 6400. We dropped over the SE side of Bullion and the snow has loosed up with a Fist (F) crust on the top ~7cm. We dropped down BB Bowl where snow was much more wind affected (very hard for several cm).
