Comments

Beat the sun to Purple Knob, but the downhill conditions were quite poor with significant overnight wind. Carried ski crampons but never needed them. Most of yesterdays skin track filled in except in protected areas. Add in previous tracks and I’d give it a miss till a refresh. Best skiing was larch triangle above Hero’s approach. Back to the car by 1030

Dogleg track could really be re-routed to the road to the east, overly steep right now. Purple track is mint. Crossing of the creek to dogleg is on its last legs. Could fail any day.
