Well developed Surface Hoar on surface up to top of treeline. Skiing from top of trees down was fun fast pow. Wind up high, uncertainty, and ski quality made us turn around before the last pitch to summit.

Snowpack

In Alpine profile, 5cms loose wind blown snow over a stiff (1F) windslab that is 10-15cms thick. An ECT propagated across the column at ECTP12 on some well preserved stellars. CT results pulled out another moderate RP down 35cms on stellars/resistance change. Another layer of FC down 65cms appeared on the pit wall and in shovel shears, but no notable results. 3m HS!
