Great up high okay down low

Good conditions up high around darkside lake today. 6cm ish of dust on top of a rain crust up to 2000m, with conditions improving greatly above that. Around -10 or so in the shade, and quite warm in the sun. South facing slopes began to show signs of warming by around noon with some pinwheeling. North slopes skied great up high. Minimal instability on NE/N slopes with some tiny unconsolidated slabs moving around that were roughly 20cms deep. Very minimal propagation or energy but worth noting. Probed depth of 115cm at 2000m Access was okay at best and heinous at worst. Not too terrible by December in the Duffy standards
