Comments
Went to Fraser this afternoon, skied the ridge leading up to Fraser Peak. Still very much early season up there. Seems like there was no new snow in the past week. Old instabilities seen on every aspect, most were slabs sliding on the thaw/ice crust. Top surface of the snow pack was very firm with an ice crust in any spot that has seen the sun. North facing slope had ok snow, but overall riding was meh... But another beautiful bluebird day with no wind and warm temperatures.
