~3cm of overnight snow. Additional 2cm fell on and off during the day. Also periods of sun. Snow was isothermal below 1100m and made for heavy turns. Above there was a melt freeze crust which was generally supportive to skiers and the recent snowfall made skiing enjoyable. Lots of signs of previous sz 2+ slides likely from the warming period last Wednesday / Thursday. These ran several hundred meters. See photos of examples. North aspect snow depth 2m @1500m elevation, 1m @1000 MIN location approximate
