Comments
Didn't poke in the snow. Trace to 1" new snow. Fast and fun buried supportable surface crust on top of stiff slab i assume. Didn't hit anything. Pretty socked in but warm temps, calm to light winds. Rode Skiers right of the weather tower, before the summit but skiers left of center trim, hugging the middle trees, trying to avoid start zones, Kinda center punch sneak
