15cm 1 day old HN on settled pow for fast, fun skiing. Overall, it's feels surprisingly well settled and not standout signs of of instability. The Dec crust is gnarly and not trust-worthy though, I haven't been in the gorge since it was created and it's much more prevalent than elsewhere (full on blue ice crust). From limited obs it currently has an OK bond directly above and below with hard failures about 3 cm above in rounded facets.
