Very thin coverage from Sunshine parking lot but quickly improved with elevation. 130cm+ base at pass with about 30cm+ of new snow on a supportive crust. Temps for the day -8C from parking lot, -9C at the pass, -3C back at parking lot at 3pm. Everything stable with no signs of natural avalanche activity.
