Comments

P1 was very wet but overall decent conditions and quite fat (WI3).

P2 was wet and had some difficult conditions but good screws if you worked for them (WI4).

Heavy drifting along the lakeside trail. Travel to and from the route was very difficult and length once off the flats and normal trail. Very deep snow, hard even with skis on.
