I bet that there is someone in here that can help me with this.
At Peek N' Peak this past week we got 34" or reported snow between Monday and Thursday. Yes it was really there and it was amazing....
Friday was warm and it softened up the top. Saturday was nice and cold again but any sun exposed powder set up with a fully 2 inch nasty crust that was super hard but not hard enough to support weight. On a moderate pitch I got out into 20+ inches of soft with that nasty crust on top. No matter what I tried I could not turn in it to save my butt. I could hardly even jump turn because I could not pole plant due to the depth and my skis would hang up as they tried to bust up out of the snow. If I went total back seat (which feels like crap) I could float the tips up enough to breach the surface so I could sort of move with minimal stearing. HELP!!!
