15-20cm of moist snow overlies a supportive crust. One might be able to find some dry snow on high northerly aspects. The best skiing today was on open, planar, slopes below 35 degrees. Some wet loose snow was moving on steep slopes with skier traffic. On steep rolls it was east to get the 15-20cm to slide on the buried crust, predictable and sluggish.
