Comments
Very very very wet skiing, almost impossible to turn and even slide downhill with how deep and heavy it was. Snow was slightly drier above 1800m, but not by much. We avoided all alpine slopes and skied the trees which was mediocre. Below 1500m or so it was straight up raining, soaking us (and the snowpack) :( significant warming, much less snow on the way out than the way in and we walked from the creek crossing around 1500m back to the car.
