A breakable crust was found up to 2000m which was our highest elevation of the day. The crust was more robust on open south facing slopes. The morning was sunny, winds picked up in the afternoon gusting strong from the SW, not much snow on the move. The early Dec rain crust was down 150 cm in sheltered areas. There were areas where wind has scoured down to the crust.
