Riding Quality
OK

We skiied Parkers and Hilda ridges over 3 days; Feb 11-13. Did not observe any signs of avalanches or concern despite starting during the SPAW. Horrible skiing at treeline and alpine (either impenetrable ice/crust sheets, bare earth, or erratic hard wind rows/Sastrugi). Travel was fast and views were good. Snow on bottom half of N/NE aspect trees skiied ok enough to still enjoy full mellow days out. Snow on SE aspect 'ski out' from Hilda ridge to the moraine/creek was very faceted out and had to be skied cautiously.
