Bailed on the middle sister after seeing conditions of the ramp. Wind scoured, firm, and sharky. Not much snow left to transport above treeline. Frontside couloir was refrozen survival skiing, North bowl and cornice bowl was cold and wind stripped survival skiing. Challenging skinning most of the day. Some fun facet turns lower down in the treeline! No surface hoar present in the alpine, some surface hoar present in the treeline in sheltered areas and widespread surface hoar present in the btl up to 60mm. Very cold in north facing alpine terrain. Facets to ground in most places and HS of 1m or less.
