Good snow for skiing! Wind-loading concern at high elevations. Down low rain crust and loose crystals immediately above is nasty. Mechanized tobogganers were out brapping in full force.

Snowpack

From top to 90cm down, nice gradual hardening with no significant weak layers. At 90cm there is a layer of loose sugary crystals right ontop of a rain crust. Some other aspects and elevations had 5-15cm soft windslab.
