Comments
We left the parking around 9:30am. It snowed lighlty all morning and off and on throughout the day. The winds were calm BTL with a light S wind at TL. Travel up the FSR's into mature timber is difficult due to barely covered alder and Christmas trees, but once you are in the forest it improves. Snow depths above 1500m begin to increase offering decent ground coverage. Once you are above 1700m there is 170+cm of snow. Skiing was great to about 1500m and then low snow and moist conditions begin to make it more difficult.
