Exploring new routes...Some go, some definitely don’t. Big mission investigating traverse routes while the travel is safer and the ski quality is questionable. What little skiing we did was really good.

There wasn’t much snow left for transport. But what was left was getting moved around. THe forecast was for Moderate, but the gusts were frequent and hard to walk. The sun managed to stay hidden which helped preserve the good skiing for a little longer.
