Snow Conditions

skied north and east slopes in the trees. snow was actually very good, heavy but slick and soft good turns. open areas were crusty , especially N aspect. South looked nice and soft but scary due to loading. Tried to keep it real chill and stay out of avalanche terrain all day because or skier and natural triggered the last few days. No tests but top 10-15cm were fist, then a 8-10 cm 1 finger slab, on top of 4 finger. felt good, but i was still concerned from reports.
