Calling it an inch of new snow would be generous, but I'm feeling generous. Otherwise, yesterday's warm temps and attendant wetter snow surface meant crust almost everywhere today. The one exception we found was steep, northerly, shaded, and sheltered terrain at mid elevation, but even this was localized. Similar aspects and elevations elsewhere still had crust present.

The surface crust was up to 10cm thick and supportable in many places, but clearly not all locations as we punched through seemingly randomly on the descent, making for challenging skiing. However, it took an edge pretty well on the uphill, to the point that while I'd thought we'd need ski crampons, we never ended up putting them on. Crust seemed most firm at low elevations and southerlies, weakening across east to north aspects.
