It was a great ski day up in the mountains but riding on the other hand was pretty brutal. New snow measured about 4 inches with a little more on the leeward side of the mountains. I got up in some steep north facing terrain and found just what Craig said we'd find, spongy snow. The north is bouncy and fast. The new medium density snow isn't moving much however as seen in the very small new snow soft slab avalanche pic below it is bonding to itself. The second pic shows a this skin that ran in the trees.
