Comments

Traversed from Bourgeau lake towards massive mountain over several ridges. North aspects in the alpine had some soft wind slabs that had started to faceted out which made for good drought skiing, North aspects at treeline still had good powder. Below 1800m found spring like corn snow out the creek which was in great condition. Bourgeau trail would not be great to ski out. Found small surface Hoar from 1800m to 2000m in shady drainages. No new avalanches.
