Comments

Did a few short laps around Summit Creek. There was 2-10 cm of fresh snow (thicker on more north-facing slopes) on top of a supportive crust, making for decent skiing conditions. On south-facing slopes the snow was starting to melt and get sticky (roller balls) buy around 2pm. We stayed below treeline and the snow had minimal wind effect. Very flat light throughout the day.
