Ten Mile

Hopes on getting to the upper Valley, but stopped due to difficult trail breaking conditions above the “Steady”, around 500 m. The trail is in good condition to the high point, with deeper snow as elevation is gained in the valley. Was very weary to get off the trail as there are still stumps and rocks very present in the low density snow. Within the valley we found 20 to 25 cm of new snow sitting on more supportive snow below. An even distribution of new snow with little wind effect, makes for what looks like fantastic skiing. No avalanche problems noted today, and no avalanches in this valley observed.
