Comments

Saturday -- hardpack conditions. Many old avys seen from Zupjok summit including some large glide (sz 3?) east of Llama peak, and all slopes west of Zopkios.

Sunday -- felt like maybe 3-5cm overnight? N aspect treeline bowls were skiing well, no signs of instability even right off the ridge. Some sticking of snow to skins -- was warm.
