Toured up Murray today and skied a few laps in the main bowl on the N/NW aspect. Found 15-20cms of snow on the temperature crust at 1,500m and about 45cms at 1,800m. Made for some great skiing. No real signs on instability other than steeper unsupported tree wells. We did avoid the convex looking start zone early in the ridge and opted for the mellower treed area to start our runs. Snow was getting warm at 1,450m on the way down.
