Comments
Skied Tryst chutes today after work - about 20cms (boot deep) of new snow on a crust. Sluff was moving fast on the hard layer, but the skiing was great especially in the fan at the bottom of the chutes. Skied 3 of the chutes - avoided the areas closer to the Fist, but there were tracks over there. Coverage is still a bit thin on the entrance of the steepest chute and I hit a rock jump turning into it.
Skied Super slope out. The alpine on the windward side was scoured. There is a crust layer, but the skiing in more sheltered areas was great!
Steady winds all afternoon and a bit of fresh snow on the drive out - I’d say 20-30cms overnight in that zone.
