Comments

With a blue dawn and -17c we sledded up into the Big Y and reaped the rewards. The access route from Fraser still has some wind drifts and holes to keep an eye out for!

In big Y we traveled up to the toe of the glacier. It's a thin and wind stripped route as you head up the valley but the meadows provided sheltered powder to rip around in. We felt comfy playing in run out zones and on smaller features. We saw a couple of wind slabs that ran two days ago.

It was great to get above the valley fog layer and enjoy the viz!
