A lap up disease ridge. Conditions started calm until ~11am when wind and snowfall picked up. 10-20cm of new snow on a thin breakable crust when skied but will definitely increase as this storm continues. Wind affect is VERY noticeable on lee slopes as many shooting cracks were observed; small sz1 wind slabs were set off as well. The thin crust was present at all aspects and elevations observed (up to at least 2100m). Crust+thin snowpack made skiing not very pleasant.
