Went on a little walk on what we originally thought was typical island cement. Didn't trust the snowpack based on previous reports around the island, so decided to dig a quick pit. After 13 taps, the snow sheared away pretty clean on top of the formidable 6 week crust layer. Was surprised at how easily it went, so decided to go back to the resort. Heard whumps a couple of times. Don't be fooled, it's spicy right now in my non expert opinion.
