Quick report

We started touring up Python ridge around 10am. Starting with concrete crust, the snow turned to dust on crust around 2500’ and started to change to shallow powder around 3000’. We observed wind effect with a SE wind around 10mph, including filled in skin tracks, a shallow wind crust, and flagging off of the west ridge of Python. Our decent at 3:00 skied well, although the crust in lower elevations stayed largely unaffected except for in areas with direct solar.
