An afterthought of a day turned into a glorious outing. Found up to 30cm of dry fresh on a supportive crust. Quite a bit of refrozen avy debris still around but easy to avoid or ski through. Enough snow to keep the ski out through the trees from being horrendous. No wind, good viz, and nice temps just below freezing. No signs of instability or natural avalanches spotted throughout the day. Still plenty of good turns to be had back there.
