Skiied 3 laps in the 10km cutblocks with no reactivity on 25-30° moderately unsupported rolls. On last lap at approximately 1330 the sun was just starting to kiss the steeper slopes so we called it a day before the snow got heavy and woke up the SH down approx 30-40cm. Great ski conditions considering the warmer temps.

Cut several mushrooms all were very resistant to initiate. Light faceted pow on the surface made for great skiing. Crusty wet snow on all other aspects including north facing less than 15°
