20+ cm of new snow. Riding was fun near tree line where there was less wind crust and deep powder shots. Above tree line new snow was poorly bonded to wind crust. Unconsolidated snow below crust. Warm temperatures and wind may contribute to slab formation on top of wind layer. On a side note, massive temperature spike in Skagway!
