Comments
Skied up to the sled turn around point on Crystal ridge and enjoyed sunny corn skiing from 2000m down to about 1500m where the snow got isothermal. Sled compacted snow stayed supportive all day. We were able to drive to 1100m (4km) on Crystal logging road in a pick up truck with only a couple of short wet/muddy sections. Consistent snow coverage on the road all the way to the base of the sled ski zone. Probed 150-170cm of snow at 2000m.
