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.
