Toured up body bag, down to circle lake, up to spearhead shoulder, saucer chute, and out Husume. Variable conditions in the alpine.

About 5-10cm of new snow on top of a crust which was skier supportive below ~2100m and thinned out with elevation but persisted even to the top of Husume. Where it was breakable the crust did not negatively affect ski quality much - thin and punchy.

Firm but stubborn windslab in immediate lees at ridge crest. Evidence of multiple size 1 natural windslabs on NE slopes from disease ridge coming down to circle lake but we could not trigger slabs on small test slopes. Wind scoured on S and W aspects, in some places stripped to the crust. Body bag would be a sporty ski. Good riding on high sheltered N aspects.
