We did the traverse from 5040 to Klitsa Mt over a period of three days from May 1-3. The surface of the snow was soft especially later in the day. Travel on the ridges was good, some route finding challenges due to cliff bands and glide cracks. We had good skiing on the west and northwest slopes of Klitsa in the morning. We skied out the Klitsa north basin mainly in the trees. The bushwhack below the basin was horrendous.
