Comments

Skinned up right side of the creek through trees on an existing up track. We continued up to the back of the bowl, staying on the centre ridge.

Snow was hard in the morning with a ~3cm crust, topped with a 1cm dusting of snow from last night.

Wet slide remnants were see on the sides of the bowl.

Headed down around noon.

Had some ok turns down through the bowl on the crust. Skied out through the creek on fun melting snow, which turned heavy, wet and sticky by the bottom of the drainage. When the sun came out.
