Not too many parties out at the Bald Hills today. Strong winds from the south west has stripped some features of snow and created wind slabs in others. There's still good skiing to be had in sheltered areas though. We observed some cracking when skiing across small wind loaded slopes down 10-20cm. Cracking would propagate up to 10 m away. We dug one pit on a slope at tree line that produced hard ECTP results on the October crust at the bottom of the snowpack. This weakness at the bottom of the snowpack will likely be with us for a long time and make skiing more committing features a bit of a gamble.
