Comments
Quick slack country turns on north face of BigWhite peak, NE aspect of east peak.
Skinning at ridglines difficult - highly scoured. Everything that wasn’t a north aspect was terrible - mostly refrozen crap.
On North facing aspects below ridge lines was 10cm of low density snow on smooth supportive crust which made for pleasant skiing. New snow was poorly bonded to the crust. Sluffing on steeper aspects. Surprisingly little windslab.
