Comments
Beautiful sunny day and amazing day for a workout up high. Decent skiing to be had above 1300m - the price to pay is bumping through frozen snow mobile tracks and breakable crust to get there. Bit of soft on top of the crust above 1300m. Did a couple of laps of north glades. Avoided some wind loaded features off of the ridge.
