3 of us toured Chair Peak Basin 1-17-08, pretty beautiful tour. We skied east facing terrain, dug a pit on 38 degree slope east facing. Hard rain layer at about 8-10 inches. R block test showed non-consolidated break on 1st jump above the rain layer, 5 + subsequent jumps failed to break any deeper layers. Skiing had some small crust higher with soft pow conditions down below.
