Skied to the end of the forest and made a few turns in sticky snow. Great snow coverage down to 1500m but then it’s dirt. Boot supportive crust above 1600m and if you time it like us you might want to walk rather than deal with the clumping. 70-90cm on a south aspect at 1800m and CT29 break down 20cm at the bottom of the met freeze layer on a north aspect.
