The classic cooling of the last afternoon brought katabatic winds. did get about 5cm ski pen on the hike up Didn’t find any crevasses as we wandered around a bit in the lower crevasse band. It seems like there is plenty of new snow on the already supportive snow-bridges observed in early January. As spots seemed more filled in. The hike to and from glacier from the car park is fairly thin, with only a few CM. But we were fairly easily able to skin / ski the whole way down to the glacier. Hike off was fine, go skiers right after the glacier and there should be some compacted tracks. And remember kids, bring a group shelter. You can use it as a sail and aura farm like me.
