One instance of whumping on the way down, occurred during skier leapfrog. No cracking observed afterwards.
Mid 20s at the parking lot, high to mid teens on the ridge top. Temperature started dropping off quick around 2:00. Intermittent valley fog/cloud cycles all day. Sunny up top.
Widespread surface hoar growth starting around treeline and up. 1-3 inches dry fresh on top a mild crust. Great snow for mid-November!
Variable 1-3 feet. Minimal rocks encountered, pretty good coverage!
