Skied a number of laps both north and south of the lake. Below treeline snow was super faceted and unsupportive to skies (50cm snowpack depth and ski penetration of 30+ cm) lots of whumpfing in the flats and easily pushing pole basket to ground.. At treeline depth was 100cm. Pockets of soft windslab and 10-20cm fist snow on top of a supportive four finger layer ~10cm thick on top of low density snow to ground. Best skiing of the day by far was low angle open trees at treeline.
