Comments

Early start so snow was still firm for skin up. Transitioned just below first pump and skied down to Depencier lake. On the skin out noticed the snow had been affected by the sun and was becoming heavy and wet. Skinned to the Brockton area and skied out. On NW facing sloped very wind affected and hard otherwise a great ski day.
