We skied NW of Larch peak. We observed some cracking while skin up, snow was variable depending on the wind transport and sun exposure. Generally 10-15cm over a crust made for fast and amazing skiing. We did'nt observe any slab going off of signs of instability while going down. Both CT we did on the slope showed two crust (5-7cm thick) one over the other (see picture). failures where at CT22/CT19, down 30cm.
