Had about 15cm overnight at Huckleberry hut. Rode some mellow trees in amazing conditions in the morning. Snow was accumulating very quickly. On our first run we had several Sc and Sa size 0.5 , on our second run Sc and Sa to size 1 and on top of our 3rd run we ski cut 3x size 2 at ridge top over convex rolls. Went back to the cabin and called it a day.
