Quick report

Riding Quality
good
Snow Conditions
powder, crusty

Skied south aspects down FTC col, finding crusty skiing where terrain is angled more towards sun. In the afternoon lapped East and Northeast aspects around Wawa bowl with a couple other parties in the area and found great skiing, ~20-25cm of fist over the Jan 24th layer, midpack progressively resistant going from 4-finger to pencil resistance. Digging a test pit in a sheltered surface hoar farm in open trees protected from wind and sun found 6-8mm SH down 25 producing CTE/CTM resistant planer breaks. Jan 3 surface hoar down 60cm producing ECTP 14 results on 3-5mm surface hoar. Pencil resistance snow above and below layer. Other than the spooky test results, no signs of reactivity. Suspect Jan 3 distribution is this area is spotty, being cooked off solar aspects and blown off windy slopes.
