Low angle and sheltered terrain direct polar holding lower density snow widespread surface hoar and generally better skiing. This snow sits above a crust with some surface hoar observed on the curst. This combination is producing easy ski cuts in steep roles. Right now the slab is really soft and non - consequential due to low accumulation and little slab properties. Propagation of the slabs were limited to the feature and not propagating far. A size 1 ski accidental saw in distance and assume was on the same layer. Down 70cm of well settled snow the February weka layer also exists in TL producing hard CT SP results on 4mm rounding surface hoar. Not a good set up for the next storm.
