Comments
There was a strong inversion over the area we rode. It was -18 on the valley floor and +8 degrees at the top of tree line.
The snow was about 60% tracked out, and starting to become denser. Treed areas were not wind affected.
The valley was quite popular, we saw about 8 people on the up track, with another two larger groups (4-5 people in each) skiing in the alpine above our turns through the trees, where we meet 2 more skiers.
