Skiing above 1600m was quite good, below that to the trail head at 1400m the skiing was very marginal with all the creeks open and running.

Snowpack

There is about 35cm of snow on top of the rain crust from the pineapple express that went through earlier this week. I had a CT11 down 15cm and a CT6 down 13cm in two different test. This is the most recent storm snow. I also had a CT16 down 35cm and a CT12 down 35cm in two different tests. This is the rain crust from the express. The snow pack from ground up was 0-10cm facets, 10-29cm 1 finger, 29-40cm 4 fingers, 40-44cm rain crust, 45-80cm fist.
