We did a few mellow laps by the false summit of Zoa into the gully. Overall the riding was great, the snow was a little heavy but decent enough to have fun in. We did not see any signs of instabilities.

We skied from about 10:30 to 1. The wind was calm in the morning, but picked up significantly in the afternoon. I measured the temp twice at the start and upon leaving and it was about -2. Its snowed lightly but steadily at treeline, but was a mix of rain and snow at the pipeline road.
