crusty, powder

5 cm of new snow up at the bald hills overlies a supportive crust, which made for fast fun skiing today. The crust became less supportive at lower elevations and made for "hooky" skiing in some places. We dug a snow pit at tree line and found a variety of crusts in the upper snowpack. The mid and lower snowpack was made up of facets and depth hoar. If you take your skis off you will likely sink up to your waist. We stayed out of big terrain features because of how weak the lower snowpack is.
