Comments

60cm of new snow fell in the area in the last couple of days. Strong winds had reached into open spaces below treeline creating an upside-down surface condition at all elevations.

Skiing was awkward in mellow terrain and we sought out steep trees. There was good coverage in the forest down to 1550m where it became thin and sketchy, especially in gullies.
