Shames...again. crust and fluff.

Returned to see the changes and get partner out for 1st runs of the season. Below 0 temps at p lot made for crusty skin up on previous days moist snow. Cloudy with light winds. Crusty surface to 1000 m's then soft top improved with elevation. Knolls runs to meadow all fluff (see pic 1)...dried out nicely over night. No slabs seen or triggered. Point release slides seen in steep North Bowl tree shoots. As well a wet looking slide ran in creek runout of Cold Sweat that almost made valley bottom. (See pic 2) as we approached valley bottom below 1000 m's surface crust gets thick and very hard to ride. Survival skiing at best down there. Run back to lodge not so good below top chair. Above zero and a bit corny last 5 chairs. Mud and dirt starting to show through 😕
