Great start to the day with nice champagne on top of a supportive crust. Dug a pit before heading back down and had an unresponsive tap test on an isolated column. Found pockets of up 70cm with majority being between 40 and 50cm. Uniform temperature of -9 atmopsheperic and top and bottom of snow pack. Riding was awesome but deep foot penetrative when transitioning. Didn't ride anything steep but still boogied out as the wind picked up before noon. Great day!
