Skied a 3rd Knowl and No Socks. West and Southest terrain between about 1250m and 900m. Freezing level was at 1000m. Above that 5cm of fresh over thick coastal powder, skiing pretty good on big skis. Below that a thigh burning elephant snot mix of coastal powtatoes. Big risk of the day was dodging the huge tree bombs that were periodically falling below the freezing level. Winds calm, sun came out for a bit, raining at the start of the day. A good coastal ski if you remembered your skin wax. With good visibility we didn't see any crowns, just lots of point releases.
