Might have been some of the worst skiing conditions I've ever experienced. Awful thick crust on top of soft snow, that turned moist at lower elevations. Dug a profile as there was little temptation to run laps. Beside the fantastic bed surface forming at the surface right now the pack was very well bonded and settled. The surface hoar layer down 60cm was rather stubborn to react and failed to propagate at all on an ECT. Twisted knees were definitely the concern over avalanches today.
