Nice stroll to Divers LK Cabin and up above it in the trees. Cold in the shade and warm in the sun with moist LWC. Some pinwheeling on sunny slopes and steeps. No signs of avalanches observed otherwise. We skied from the cabin up the NE aspect of Strata. We stoped shy of the summit under the very steep open slopes that were plumbed by the sun. Had a nice hour long nap in the treed meadow in the sun before heading down ✌?. Overall the skiing quality was really good. Very surprising. Every N facing is light and dry!

Weather

Avalanche

Some very light pinwheeling observed on very steep slopes/cliff bands.
