Other Comments:
Some ever slight wind scalloping up high with expected thin layer wind slab. Not reactive to ski. New snow was dense 8-10 ” on top of light snow.Did number hand pits rough column test .This dense layer sheared easily . Not much punch in new snow layer. Will keep this layer in mind for future . Couple steep short rollovers and this layer(surface) didnt move much nor did corners of climbing track break. Creamy, fast nice skiing.
