Comments
Temps around or just above 0C with wet snowfall rates increasing into the afternoon. After scraping around at Fraser Chutes, found great turns on the less sun-exposed slopes at Log Cabin. Ubiquitous windslab in alpine with 5-10cm fresh overtop skied well. Slight settlements and hollow areas kept me from pushing too high. 20-30cm ski pen in trees=good times! Further down in trees snowpack is very faceted and punchy, making trailbreaking difficult. Very glad I didn’t bring a dog!
