Lovely bluebird day with spectacular views Great snow up high, terrible bottom 3-400m. Inversion in the morning. Clear skies, very little wind during ascent until reaching the col. Wind from south /snow transport noted at summit of little sifton. Thin breakable crust on the north aspect when descending from little sifton col for first 100 or so metres. Lovely powder turns on east aspects above 2000m. Coverage is still relatively low descending down through aldery paths at and below treeline. Melt freeze crust/ frozen tree bombs from about 1700 to valley bottom, very scrapey.
