Observations
We skied the low angle ridge then worked our way down to Jenny Lake and then back up to Paradise to ski inbounds on a closed Snowbowl. There was about a 1-2 inch frozen crust sitting on top of largely unconsolidated snowpack. While testing the snow using my ski pole, the pole easily sank 120cm down with minimal pressure. We made the decision to stay out of avy terrain and ski mellow trees. Snow was punchy and heavy, but skiable.
