Comments
I stomped around, poked and prodded.
Not much to report.
No significant cracking, to me seemed like the glue was dried on windslabs,
1" fresh light density snow from yesterday slaps up a new canvas for us to paint. Riding fun in protected areas but firm sponge base below played too big a role. Low angle= no bottom feeding.
In many places there is a denser cohosive 1/4" wind skin on top not bonded well, doesn't hurt ride quality.
Lots of wind damage expecially s side.
Snowed 10ish for a bit. No significant accumulation of snow fell while I was there 9-130.
Out was pleasant, Wet snow n side once leaving 8000
Minor transport observesd 9600ish and above.
