Strong inversion with temps hovering around 0°C most of day between 1500-1900m (didn't go higher) and cold in the valley bottom. Freezing rain formed a skiable zipper crust, most pronounced between 1400-1900m. Backed off our original objective because of warming temps and skied mellow, open trees instead. That being said, no signs of instability were observed.
