Comments

Skiing was some of the worst of the year debatably- skiied to treeline elevation cornice ridge 1200m ish / into trees on project pillows. Lots of debris from last storm cycle- hard pack snow from recent warm temps, bad visibility squashed alpine objectives, where it was likely higher snow quality, (snow seemed to get marginally softer as we got above 1000m. The current surface snow is a hard crust around 5-7cm thick
