Can't open the video. What were conditions like?

conditions in the video look like fast, buttery, spring-like conditions under full sun :) looking forward to some touring tomorrow. thanks for the stoke.

Looks to me like 0.5-3" ski penetration, increasing with elevation, over a ski-supportable, but somewhat scratchy crust. Snow looked like slightly heavy pow, getting lightly roasted, especially down low/in the sun.  Looks like they skied from ~8k to the road, and had more fun than a day at work.

Looks better than I'd have guessed from the telemetry; I thought the crust might be breakable/hooky from ganders tonight. Gotta go to know!

"Gotta go to know" is right . Stayed home thinking slop.
Nice Video Andy and Regine!


You are killing me !
