Telemetry said 6 inches...found 12-18 inches on the slopes. Freshies in green valley and iceberg. Needed some wind consolidation/transport to avoid crust below...left angle trees proved awful with 18 inches powder so light that skiing was done on horrid weak bumpy crust below. Ended day on High Campbell since no one was there and every run had face shots.
South Back was closed....but northway opened in afternoon. Some avy's off the thrones seemed worrisome.

DaveC and I had a great day at Crystal on Wednesday. Highlights: Right Angle; first tracks down the left Teddy Bear Chute; Left Angle; Morning Glory Bowl...
Do you enjoy breakable crust? Or perhaps the crust underneath was more solid on the aspect of left angle trees that you were on? Or perhaps your skis were so fat that you never touched the crust? Very puzzling!
Granted it was a great day at crystal....except for my run on left angle trees.

This reply is puzzling to me.

I was definitely feeling the hard stuff underneath but the snow was very deep and so there was an adequate coushion and my wide skis (1080 guns) were helping. It was very enjoyable. Didn't encounter breakable crust as I can recall and I would because I hate breakable crust and it scares me.
