We skied the slopes just above Black Tusk Meadows. There were about 35cm of new snow in the morning which were not yet bonded to the crust underneath. It continued snowing and winds picked up. Skin track was snow covered after each run. Thin slabs started to form in wind exposed areas so we stuck to the lower slopes and turned back around noon. Snow was very heavy and sticky at Taylor Meadows.
