Skiing

Went for a walk on skis in the low-elevation meadows below Blackmore and Elephant Mountain. Observed roller balls and snow glopping to our skins. Dug on a small NE facing test slope at 7760'. HS 48cm, ECTN12 & CT10 Q3 up 27cm on what looked like an old layer of buried surface hoar. A nice day for a low angle walk.
