Skied a couple laps on puzzle ramp. Variable coverage with best skiing in cross loaded features. Avoided wind loaded convexities which showed easy hand shear results down 35cm on facets below a buried wind slab. Isolated, small whumfs while transitioning from thick to thin areas, no shooting cracks. HS 40-95cm on SW aspect at 2500m, Nov. 5 crust ~25cm off the ground. Small surface hoar growing near the inversion boundary (around 2000m).
