A Lot of shooting cracks / wumfff sounds, many wind slabs and a crusty layer at low elevation that we called '' crème brûlé", really more pronounce at low elevation in the trees (sun crust or old rain???) As you go up that layer is gone. Above the tree it is all wind very affected. we found that the good place to ski is in the trees, but not to low because of that layer and not to high because of wind...Old slide on the run east of the lake .Nice day out anyway.
