Had a few good laps in 5 Mile. We were surprised to find a thin (2mm) freezing rain crust unter about 2cm of fresh snow. It was easily breakable but still noticeable while skiing. Under this was about 50cm of F/4F snow. No signs of instability or recent avalanche activity observed. No clean shear results in the top 60 from hand shears.
