New snow made for good powder skiing. Still grazed a few rocks just above treeline but otherwise there was a good base under the new snow. Skiied the mellow slopes treeline and below treeline (south-western aspects). Saw 3 other groups skiing this area. We stayed away from the alpine slopes of Little Arethusa as wind had left them barren. No instability noted on the aspects we skiied treeline and below. Was snowing heavily when we left so the Highwood Pass ski conditions should be improving but with increased avy risk. Three more ski days before the road closure.
