[MCR] South Coast, Oboe Mt.

I spent the weekend around Oboe. Colder temps -15 to -20 where breaking down a nasty surface crust and causing lots of faceting below. The Nov 26 crust is still strong and buried 10 to 50 cm down. Skiing conditions where quite variable and crunchy. At 230pm yesterday there was 2cm new snow on top of all this. Some new snow will really better the skiing as well as increase the avalanche hazard.
