We were able to drive to about 650 meters. We were the only tracks up today and heard multiple large whumpf's skinning up as well as shooting cracks. There was about 30-40 cm of new light and fluffy snow on top of the previous rain layer and was not well bonded. Decided not to go to the summit and had some very nice turns mellow turns in some cut blocks and glades around 1300 meters.
