Toured up the Sunshine ski out and topped out at the top of Wawa Ridge. Snow conditions varied depending on where you were during the climb. Snow pack felt dense and firm under foot. Walked part of the ridge to get up, very wind affected and packed down. Made for an easy walk. Skiing was ok, lots of people have made turns here so the area is a bit skied out. However, still soft snow to be found and fun to be had. Tried to maximize the descent and ended up joining into the ravine exit that back door runs into from the resort. Rider beware here. The ravine doesn't have much coverage. Plenty of roots, fallen trees and rocks to dodge on the way out if you go that way.
