Went for the views, stayed for the terrible ski. Skied the lookers left gully in hopes to find better snow in the lower section of the slope. We did not find any. 3-5cm ankle grabbing WSL top to bottom. Notable widespread surface hoar up to 1cm in sheltered areas at Alp. There also appeared to be a small solar crusts in some areas burried under SH. Potential for more SH developing tonight after the warm sun output today. No signs of new avalanches observed.
