After travelling to the Summit Creek weather station, we did a short tour up and across the Fraser chutes. Strong winds were distributing about 15 cm of storm snow into north lee features. The chutes are skiing well, but alpine slopes have been largely scoured and cross loaded by the wind. There are still shallow areas and rocks to hit (confirmed), and it still feels pretty early season out there.
