- Skied Big Tree Peak. Mix of sun and cloud throughout the day. Strong ridge top winds from the west. Temps ~+5 in the alpine. Overnight melt freeze crust broke down by 11am on south aspects and 1pm on most aspects making for fun skiing. Lower elevation creek crossings are hazardous! Drove to 720m elevation. This was plan B after encountering a washed out road on Ashwood at 50.27800, -126.58006
