Problem #1 Comments
PWL at around 40cm depth continues to be suspect. We played is safe and rode on low angle trails. New snow and wind drifting could be an increasing factor in more exposed terrain. Faceted crystals at 30cm appeared to be slowly starting to round. I'm still a newbie at reading crystals so take that comment for what it is worth.
