Observations
Skied the area today. My mitt pit found 30" of snow. A facets layer at ground 10". Two storm layers above. New snow had moderate bond with older snow and Thanksgiving snow was bonded pretty well with the facets layer. When skinning near rocks skiis would break down to faceted snow. Pretty good skiing, lots of hazards to watch for
