Snowpack

~5cm PP on top of 1-1.5cm MFcr (likely from above-freezing temps prior day), 25cm DF F-hard below over P-hard layer (wind slab?). Noted widely-distributed dust on all aspects, mixed with PP on top of crust. Crust breakable making for poor skiing conditions top to bottom. I-blowsno at top of 110s with all PP blown into trees and sastrugis forming on the crust.
