Comments

Solid crust from base to 1600m. Lots of small wet avalanche debris in steep areas. Debris was frozen solid and had slid in the previous day or so. Turns were decent in the alpine, track out was solid ice and difficult to ski
Looking down the ridge. Top 1” was soft on a solid crust. We skied down before the slopes became too warm
Anything steep had small wet slides from previous days that was frozen and very challenging to ride.
