Started out with a walk up the road in the fog. Able to transition around 1100/1km past the lot. Seemed that quite a bit of rain had fallen up to about 1300m where we started to see some fresh snow on the ground. 2-5cm crust sat on top of most new storm snow that would have been nice to ride otherwise. No signs of instability to be seen. New snow appears well bonded with surface.
