Sun crust formed on solar aspects New Year's Eve affecting riding quality on slide side and sunny side. Ridgetop westerly winds left NE aspects off planetary peak in good condition. Some consolidation and wind effect at higher elevations, but no notable instabilities. Excellent riding in the more sheltered easterly aspects.
