Comments
Sled ski toured the north aspect of trudo. Between 1300m and 1500m was week snowpack, above was more supported. We didn't go above tree line. Lots of settlements and hard trail braking. A very pronounced facet layer in the top 20cm to 40cm, had a very upside down feel to it. Lovely day in the trees. Deep powder turns! Tricky snow pack.
