Snowpack is pretty thin. Sufficient snow cover for skiing above about 1800m, boulder hopping/bushwacking below. Generally about ~10cm wind affected powder on a supportive crust, bootpacked from treeline to 100m vertical metres below summit of Tszil mountain then skinned the last part. Up to 20cm wind-transported powder in places and some small areas of thin windslab. Nice skiing above 2000m :)
