Comments

Sporty travel out to Sky Pilot Basin. 30 mins of walking on road from gondola before consistant snow.

Travel below 1200 was on soft but supportive snow. Travel above 1400 was on a thick breakable crust is most areas, with some winded areas being hard and non breakable.

There was 3 turns worth of decent snow collected in steep polar aspects that was it for goods.
