Good skiing on Saturday with 50cm of fresh snow at Parker's Ridge. We stayed in conservative terrain and away from overhead hazard but still found good skiing. The snow was surprisingly fast for how deep it was. The snowpack is primed for human triggered avalanches and we experienced lots of whumps and shooting cracks.
