Shames Dome

<p>The dome above treeline was quite cross loaded with wind loaded sections then wind scoured. The scoured snow was still soft and some sun crust remains. Overall, Wednesdays sun crust has mostly broken down. No shooting cracks breaking trail up and around the dome, stomping on windslabs was unreactive. When walking parallel to fresh skin track, slab would crack and slide aside. East edge of dome before access to Zim sounded hollow. Skied steep east slope of Fayzurs down to waterfall trees and waterfall trees in nice powder.</p>
