Braved the Pass FSR today to go skiing up the Farm area. Storm in past couple days dropped about 40-50cm on the road. Skin up was slow going, fairly thin snowpack down below ~1200m made for decent amount of route finding. Dug a pit at 1400m, storm snow ~50cm on top of a crust that was not too reactive in tests. Soft wind slab in spots in open trees around 1400m. Ride down was deep and snow was fairly slow, survival skiing dropping below 1200m.
