Birchy hill

Notices small cracking radiating 1 to 2 feet from skis on open tree slope. As Stephen replied to my minor observation *? (eye roll) obviously a weak layer after that rain New snow soft and great to ride in wind loaded areas. Spots with crust layers were not too bad to ride, no hard defined Crust (aka ice layer) more of a granulated snow (ice crystals) Crust Stayed in open trees, gentle slopes. Good coverage for early season. Carefully Watch/avoided hazards in snow, no issue in today's tour, as but required speed checks on descent.
