Snow Characteristics Comments

The riding was fast and fun if you could stay in sheltered, shaded, N facing terrain. About 8" of old settled snow consisting of graupel, near surface facets and small surface hoar.

Anywhere else was a grab bag of wind slabs, melt-freeze crusts, bullet proof, etc.

Comments

Seems like the weakest snow is sitting right on top. With clear, cold nights forecast for a bit the snow will continue to deteriorate.
