10-15 cm nice powder with no wind effect up to 1300 m. Rode the lower slopes in the Fraser Chutes area then down into the trees below Bryant Lake due to flat light and mostly poor visibility. Quick pit at 1300m on a SE aspect: Snow depth 110 cm with 10cm new snow overlying a 15 cm thick soft slab and a 5 cm layer of weak faceted snow. No signs of instability but decided to ski down due to flat light and poor visibility. Saw some folks skiing the West Halcyon/Repeater area and there were 10 sledders in the Bryant Lake area, also sticking mostly to the trees.
