HS about 1m on top of Zoa (ranging 80-120cm over 10 probe placements). Quick column test on 34 degree NW slope where HS 80cm had CTH25 resistant planner, down 25cm on the prominent crust. Will post a MIN. Column profile (sorry I'm a bit rusty at this): 80cm to 65cm approx 4 Fingers 65cm to 60cm approx knife/pencil 60cm to 45cm approx 1 finger 45-40cm approx knife/pencil 40cm to ground approx 1 finger Awesome riding quality. About 25cm light powder on a supportive crust. If you go looking for trouble with sharks you will find it, but I think I got through the day without hitting a single rock. Probably thanks to that crust. HS about 70cm at 1500m and 30cm at the parking lot.
