Treed trails toward Keith's is skinnable but not skiable, got icy on sunday on the lower half. Above the hut towards vantage, we found open slopes to be a few cm of thin slab on a hard+stable crust. Open trees were heavy/wet powder, alpine slopes were more of the thin slab+crust, wind-deposits in sheltered areas were drier and skied okay, convex spots were icy, summit ridge was hard sastrugi. some small avy debris from wet releases in the alpine bowls, cornices were small
