Victor & I skied up from the Crystal parking lot to the summit south of Norse Peak.

Conditions were generally excellent & really well consolidated BUT there is a 2€ sun crust covered by about 2€ of fresh, this crust slides really easily on S/W aspects, and is mainly present between 4700 €“ 5500€™. This may be a menace when new snow falls.

I want an uber camera!

Nice action shot Jake. It's as if you're surfing off the coast of Australia somewhere!
