Comments
All observed aspects at lower elevations are sporting a hefty temperature crust that makes for terrible skiing. This crust ranges from breakable on N-E aspects to boilerplate on solar aspects.
Skiing out the alpine loop road might be the worst I have ever seen it, more like bobsledding than skiing.
