Skied up to east Panorama Ridge today above Taylor lake. On steep south aspect slopes there was an unpleasant sun crust. As well we hit several rocks as there wasn't really enough snow. The stream gully was marginal. The trail down was good only a few rocks. I would recommend avoiding this area until another 30-40cm of snow fall. Another group said the north facing terrain was deeper and did not have a sun crust...
