Observations

Skied the north bowl of Jim Hill today, from the top of the ridge. West aspects (on the way up to Jim Hill) had some evidence of wind loading, but North aspects did not. There was about 10-15 inches of dry blower powder on top of a notable crust. I'm not sure if this is the Solstice crust or a crust from earlier in the storm cycle right before the Polar Vortex hit the region.
Snow seemed pretty stable overall today.
