We found between 10-15cm of light snow on a supportive crust that skied well off Columnar's SE aspect. The snow was a bit heavier in the trees around 1700m and slid a bit on the crust below as we skinned into steeper terrain. We found surface hoar from 1300m to our high point at 1760m on all aspects we could see as we toured across Paul Ridge to Columnar.
