Quick Observation
Skied Cats and No Socks finding 30-40cm dry storm snow over previous days crust. Proud features were exposed crust. Ski cut 2 small features at tree line getting Sz 1 windslabs with raincrust as bed surface. Rapid loading on one ski cut shown in picture, 30 minutes later was filled in. Iron Curtain ran less than 12 hours ago to top of runout Sz 2.5. Deposit was dry and suspect the raincrust was the bed surface. Winds were light gusting to strong from various directions with strongest gusts in the drainage bottoms. Snowing up to 2cm an hour at times with previous tracks blown in. Avoided all alpine and large tree line features and limited our time under overhead hazards.
