Comments
We rode Flora with 25 cm of powder. There was not enough snow on the lower part of the trail; we needed to hike carrying skis for 3 km, until 1000m elevation. After 1000m, we skinned up to the end of the ridge at 1800m. The sparsely treed ridge from 1400-1800m has isolated wind slabs, mostly on the SE side of the ridge. We avoided this area and skied the SW side of ridge. We were able to ski from 1800m down to 1000m, then hiked down.
