We skinned to the southeast slope right beside Summit Creek Mountain ( heading to Fraser). Snow has good, no whumping or cracking. Lots of great snow below, in and a little above the trees. 100m above trees was hard wind slab. Didn't dig a pit but poked around in the snow and there is a really hard layer about 30cm below the powder. We didn't see any avalanche well out there.
