Spent 2 days out at the hut checking out the area. Conditions were far better then expected, especially on the east and north facing aspects.

The first day we checked out the snow, dug a pit and rode low angle slopes around the hut.

We spent day 2 heading toward Mt. Marriot to check it out. The sun affected slopes made for some not ideal side hilling but it was minimal. About 10-20cm of ski pen on wind loaded ridges made for great skinning. We had to bootpack up a solar slope to gain a high ridge that was perfect softness for good steps later in the day. We then rode low angle back to the hut.

On our way out we had some minimal cracking underfoot, a 2-5cm wind slab on a unsupported slope. We skied trees with deep pow to the lake.
