Soft rain crust on top of a wet snow pack. Skis broke through the crust easily from the top and then made it challenging to turn the skis underneath it. Some snow balls had formed and rolled down before the rain event. Snow had fallen off around trees, making the snow more consolidated underneath them. Watch out for the crust layer after a new snow event.
