Skied low angle treed terrain and found excellent ski conditions. My hand passed through the new snow without any distinct layers pulling out when performing numerous hand shears and the new snow felt unconsolidated.
Observed widespread cracking on all aspects around Austin Pass and Swift Creek in the top 10-15cm. Dug a pit on a SE aspect in low angle terrain near top of Austin Pass. HS was less than expected at 250cm suggesting possible wind transport or previously disturbed snow in the pit location.
