Boot-top champagne powder on a supportive base above ~1800m in the east duffy. Below that is crusty mayhem. Travel through treeline terrain is treaturous.

FSR snow coverage starting at the hwy but icy.

Planning a route with efficient travel through to the alpine combined with good visibility is key to getting to the good skiing.

HS between 45-110cm @ 2000m on NW 25deg slope. 122023 MFCr is apparent but thin, with seemingly 4F/Facets snow above and below from probing.

Winds Nil to Light-SW throughout the day at ridge top. No significant signs of wind transport.

SA sz1 windslab on a steep convex roll below ridge top, NW 2100m. ~20cm crown, soft slab. No propagation across entire width of roll nor signs of stepping down. Skier was able to easily cut out to safety from the path. See photos 3 & 4

No signs of instability on planar slopes.
