Comments
We skied on glacier terrain, avoiding crevasses. Snow surface was wind affected, with wind-hard pockets, sastruguis, crusts but good riding overall. Even if recent drifting, no signs of unstability. Only some natural very small sluffs from the cliffs and later some natural loose wet on sunny slopes, below rocks.
