Everything can be found out there, yet the most interesting thing is how the "Facet Factory" has been operating in full swing. Skin trails used yesterday had a thin layer of NSF's that made for slippery travel on the steeps. Then entire snowpack is faceting above the rain crust, and in many places directly below the rain crust as well. Regardless, the riding continues to be good on the shady aspects at mid and upper elevations on steep and low angle terrain; and in areas housing at least 20cm of settled storm snow you can make turns without carving down to the rain crust. As the days progress beyond last weekends storm the settled storm snow continues to become more cohesive and is beginning to exhibit soft slab structure with minimal/insignificant cracking.
