Skied from just below the summit of Paget Peak down to Sherbrooke Lake on the west aspect. Alpine slopes were hard ice over the rocky slopes. As we reached the first few trees the surface snow turned to powder and those conditions kept getting better all the way to the lake. We stuck within the trees as much as possible on the lower descent. Very cold to start at 9:00am, at treeline got warmer and other than a slight cold wind at the summit it was a nice temp.
