Comments

Tough trail breaking. Snowed all day. Great tree skiing above 1700m. Lots of big tree wells, logs and alder made travel difficult below this level. Small sloughs up to 80 cm deep into the rolls of tree wells. Minor cracking on west aspect from buried wind slabs down 50 cm. 80 to 90 cm Fist, dry snow on the burly crust. Snow was light and dry all the way to the highway.
