Observations

Observed very wind affected snow up high on Chair Peak. No signs of instability after a week of settlement, but did find extremely hard crust on top of 2 feet of sugar on NE facing Aspect. Breakable in places but mostly supportive crust that made for fast bootpacking and sketchy skiing. Anywhere below thumbtack rock is pretty low tide still, lots of sharks.
