Riding around Fraser Peak area, made it to the top of the glacier, the lower sections/alpine had denser snow and was pretty tracked up making for harder riding. Once above tree line the snow was good and we gained confidence throughout the day. We avoided high marking too high with the persistent weak layers and making sure there was no significant overhead risks. Especially as we got closer to the glacier as the steepness increased and overhead exposure, with more visible instability of scuffs and wind blown sections. Otherwise was great riding and somewhat variable in terms of snow depths all along but tons of fun to be had. Picking lines and zones and assessing before getting carried away. Stay safe! Was around -12 and bluebird but the wind was cold at the parking lot upon arrival.
