Weather

Clear & windy day in the Mtns. Wind blowing hard from the west depositing snow on lee aspects

Snowpack

Traveling was easy on a mixed bag of hard snow, wind effected snow, thin snow & no snow ( rocks & dirt).Skied variable conditions on descent. Old slide paths skied well with small amount of fresh over the bed surface. Wind blown was holding up with little ski penetration ( Not too punchy).Lower slopes rotting out powder but still skiing OK. No whumping or cracking on ascent or descent.
