Iso-thermic/melt freeze snow made up the bottom 1/3 of the snowpack with other thin variable crusts above depending on the aspect. N - NE seemed to have the best quality snow and deepest. Skiing was good quality on the N NE aspects (Goat Slide, skiers right Scob's Knob) to variable (1800m) and then eventually got heavy (1700m)
