Comments

Wednesday's overnight snow seems to have bonded well. Slopes were stable, some sluff on turns, but no other movement noted. Skied the North face down Cypress Creek to about 900 meters before skinning East back to the resort. Hard / ice in sections under 15cm of new snow, generally good skiing conditions though. No signs of avalanche.
