Great day up to Gin peak. A cold start to the morning ~ -20ºC warming up throughout the day to about -15ºC at the lake around 11am, -7º in the sun on the ridge for lunch around 12/12:30, and just below 0ºC at the peak around 1pm. Little to no wind on the ridge or peak. Some wind transport and light fluffy powder. Noticed some debris below 2 cliffs along the upper ridge above the lake, but didn't see any obvious crown and didn't run to bottom of the slope. Trail is in decent shape, skin/ski the whole way with a few thin sections and tricky creek/bridge crossings.
