Crusty conditions on zupjok

Went for a bit of an exploratory tour up Zupjok. Found 5-8 cm HST on a crust, which was breakable at lower elevations and gained strength at higher elevations. Stayed in the trees, on SE slopes between Zupjok and Zopkios. Generally good coverage, but some creeks still open and running. Surprise holes were always a concern.
