Comments

Warm temps(-1.4) and 31cm’s of new snow.

Fraser glades was slow trail breaking and mellow skiing. While traveling on skis we tried skiing over very small break overs with no consequence below and did manage the occasional small loose piece of snow to break free. Never more than the length of your skis and always just the new snow.

In sheltered areas, snow was light. Avalanche concerns along with poor visibility kept us out of the alpine today.
