3 days skiing great stable snowpack. Interesting avalanche noticed on the sled in. Storm snow was great on Friday then a slight sun crust developed for Saturday. Snowboarding was fantastic. Skiing slightly harder. Very firm and supportive made for hard landings and the odd hard "kick" from a buried terrain feature. Up high was Styrofoam. Very obviously wind effected. Still some goods to be found in more sheltered features.
