South Aspects have several crusts in the top 30cm. These crusts are affecting ski quality. Non-solar aspects have about 30cm of new snow in the alpine that is resulting in good skiing. Surface snow on south aspects is becoming moist with the powerful spring sun. A couple of large natural avalanches where observed recently. Be mindful of your overhead hazard. Dig down and test the persistant weak layers before committing to anything ski lines.
