Quick report
Rain transitioned to light snow at 1,954 ft around 14:46. We measured ~15 cm of new snow with a 1 cm rain crust 5 cm down from the surface. Ski penetration was 5 cm and boot penetration was 30 cm. The new snow was wet, and we observed no evidence of fresh roller balls. Snow felt "bull dozery" We toured to the Jumbo shoulder ridge in poor visibility. The first ten turns on the rider’s right side of the bowl were good before the snow quickly became sticky and precipitation transitioned back to rain. Observed multiple glide cracks, and general snow creep, across the bowl, main face and lookers right ridge.
