Skiing on S side of MacPherson yesterday noted soft wind effect above treeline. Surface hoar down 35-40 cm below 2000 m, but most reactive around 1700 m. Very easy quick shears at this elevation and SH to 15 mm.. Rutschblock 1. Easy ski cutting in terrain steeper than 30 deg. Surface faceting getting buried while I type this note.
