Great travel, old tracks were mainly covered on the approach, thin crust up to the road, in the woods it softer, soft snow all the way to the Col.
Weather
-4 degrees in the Alpine and 4 degrees back at the road. Received minimal connective flurries between 1:30-2:00.
Snowpack
Variable HS to 280cm. On the glacier probing mainly 50-100cm but deeper skiers right. A couple of thick, dense layers seem to be bridging the basal facets/depth hoar on the glacier ice. Far right on moraine descent (East aspect) experienced some whumpfing.
