Quick report

SE aspect skier's left of Jenny Bowl near the top of Point 6. HS ~100cm. 0-50cm... facets, rounding depth hoar (1-2 mm fist hardness). Above that was decomposing new snow (fist to 4F) with a crust-facet combo in between. ECTN x2. CT20 (SP) on facet layer., then CT13 (SC) on ground. Bottom line... poor structure, poor strength, but not enough of a slab for propagation. Skied Jenny trees and the lower bowl. No signs of instability. Probably worse where there's wind or some way to get a stiffer slab on the awfulness at the bottom of the pack. Wx was mostly clear skies with little to no wind and no new snow. Do not, under any circumstances, follow my skin track back out to the ski area.
