heavy, crusty, windAffected, hard

We rode a north face with a strong wind affected crust. Some patches of soft powder invisable in low light made skiing tricky. South faces had a low coverage were heavy with a crust. Very steep south facing shoots had some small avalanches coming down and a few pinballs came down during midday. Skinning up is tricky in all the trees and shrubs. Coming back down is just as sketchy.
