Very stable conditions in the Black Tusk areas. We didn't dug any pit but there were no signs of instability anywhere. A few intentional cuts on convex stuff didn't produce anything, so we felt confident riding 35+ slopes. 20-40cm boot penetration, mostly very dry snow, that started to become a bit wet and sticky towards mid-day.

Skis on from the parking lot, which is NOT plowed, with only a few minor rock areas within the first 200m of the trail. Walked back for the last 1.5km of the trail, as the snow was not sufficient. Very bussy trail overall, as on our way back we saw tons of skiers and snowshoers going UP at 1pm...
