We did a few laps on Fraser on this very warm sunny saturday. We noticed we could punch through the crust with our poles to a weak layer about 8 cm underneath the frozen crust but did not note any whumfing or shooting cracks. We did not see any overhead avalanche activity. The crust softened up for decent skiing by the afternoon. Goggle tans and fun were had by all.
