Slide for life conditions on the Hogum 200. I expected it to be bad but not that bad. Came very close to down-climbing the entire run. The windward side (west) from the last cycle had a rain/rime crust plastered to it that made turning conditions impossible. From a distance, it looked great but once on it it was scary. Weak snow noted above the crust. Found the Rain/ Rime crust everywhere today except for the upper 400-500 feet of the hypodermic needle and the first 500 feet of coalpit. It was windblown (good skiing) in those areas so maybe the crust was further down. Weak snow noted above and below this crust in Maybird, Hogum, and Coalpit up to 10,500ft.
