Fresh snow in p lot to start the day. Wet stuff there but dried as we rose in elevation to about 25 cm of fresh over moist, abive t bar, with moist/crusty underlayer. Cloudy with sunny breaks light wind down low to strong by zimmy ridge top at 1400 m's from the westish forming soft slab in lee of the ridge. Shooting crack on zymbuck 1 side as we skinned the ridge with hollow fell on lee edge. Southwest facing fish/chips slope did produce a slow moving packy snow slide off of skier turns on slightly steeper angle above tree line. See pic. Old possible pre storm wet slide from cornice drop, zimmy ridge above powder 8's was also visible. Crusty/moist surface below fresh. Nice turns of fluff when you didn't cut to hard. Full on snow squal in p lot to end the day after fine ride back inbounds that was not to sticky at all!
