Comments
Wind was moving the fresh powder around. Where it collected it was very good skiing. On top, above Burridges, it is ice crust where ever it's exposed to wind - which is most everywhere. In the gullies, good skiing. Still lots of snow. Brook opening up bellow.
Also noticed hard wind slabs over softer snow in some locations where drifts or cornices are formed. And the ice crust below that.
