Skied the S aspect of Plewman along the ridge. Snow was great above 1800m. Below there was a crust around 1-2cm thick. Skinned up through the cut block on the East aspect and then bushwhacked up to thinner trees. Wouldn’t recommend. Some surface hoar less than a cm tall seen on the way up at lower elevations.
