Crystal 3/19pm, sun baked & powder

Anything that had direct sun on Tuesday had a thin crust layer over settled pow underneath and was nasty. But sun shaded margins held nice powder all the way to crystal base including the line under CHEX off deer fly. Groomers ok, powder bowl looked great from LS so similar aspects should be good Thurs. Checked out banana but boarders skidded the top entrance. The 5" that fell Wed night should help overall conditions. Parked in ddk's spot on the top row of A-lot which was vacant again. No soup report. Road was in good shape with light traffic up/down and no elk or WSP seen.
