The temperatures at timberline have been around -5 since Sunday. The
10 to 30 cm of snow on the 6 December raincrust are settling and
bonding well. The crust reacts to compression tests with hard results
that compact progressively. Ski cutting in steep terrain only led to
sluffing on the crust. We saw no new avalanche activity. Skiing
quality was good where the crust is not exposed by wind.
