Yes, IsolatedObservations
I’ve been skiing pocket creek for 17 years and I’ve never seen such strange conditions. The clearcut was completely hammered from the wind, there was a 5-6” deep crust sitting on an icy layer and then another 6” on top of another icy layer. We dug some pits with cool results and carefully skied down.
