Ski quality was generally quite good above 1000m. Did several laps on the sheltered NE slopes off the summit before calling it a day. No signs of instability despite the noteworthy results in the pit. Stuck to fairly mellow terrain and avoided steep convex features. Ski quality in the old Forbidden resort was sub par.
Snowpack
CT15 result on the junction between the 15cm of recent storm snow and the 25cm thick layer of snow overlaying the Christmas Eve rain crust. Further hits (CT20) produced a sudden planer result of the remaining snow overlaying the aforementioned rain crust. Slope angle was 25 degrees.
