Excellent couple days of skiing in Paradise Basin. The powder stayed dry even on solar aspects at high elevations today making for great laps down south east facing slopes. We tried a lap down a north aspect in the alpine too but recent northerly winds had created a one inch thick breakable windslab on top of low density facetted snow which equalled horrible skiing. The weather was perfect with light southerly winds, cold temps and lots of sunshine. No signs of instability or recent avalanches in the area other than some small cornice failures and loose dry sluffs.
