Snow Conditions

Decent skiing in the high alpine. Crust disappeared around 2350m and became a cohesive but soft pineapple deposit topped with 7-10 cm of cold low density snow in most areas. Thin and isolated pockets of wind slab in high leeside features at ridgecrest. Surface hoar is in full bloom from low elevations to as high as 23-2400m on less wind affected terrain.
