Well established tracks up Glacier Crest. Sunny and warm, with a +1C reading on the ridge (in the sun). Skied going north and skiers left (NW) of the rock bands (NE ridge had been in sun all morning). The upper ridge and tree glades held well. Heaps of sluffing, pinwheels and snowballs in the steep trees, so stayed on shaded aspects of ridge as much as possible. Tore my pullover going through trees, losing a style point; darn.
