Wind affected powder skiing.
Observation: Turnagain
Location: Eddy's
Generally good skiing. Two skiers in front of us put in a really good skin track through the trees which minimized exposure to hazard from above, really appreciated that.
Just a dusting of new snow at the trailhead -> Evidence of freezing rain for awhile along the trail -> Transitioned to full snow between 450ft-700ft elevation ->. new snow depth increased from there until above tree line when the snow was well scoured.
Visible slopes on Wolverine and Tincan looked scoured to the ground.
