Nice dust on crust conditions though you could still feel every bump underneath the new snow. Low low angle would be better riding conditions.
Red Flags
Red Flags Comments
Wanted to check out S facing slopes and wasn't surprised to find a KNIFE hard crust capping a few other knife/pencil crusts. Needed a saw to dig pit. No weak snow other than new surface snow. Would've broken my hand if I'd tried an ECT.
