Sunny day above the clouds around 1600m. Rode top part of NRC gulley. Snow was wind packed in the shadow, with abuut 7cm ski penetration over firm snow. Snow was heavy in the sun on the S facing part of the bowl, with signs of wet sluff coming from the cliffs. We avoided skiing there. Transitioned to Macdonald W shoulder ~1800m. Snow was lighter on the W aspect, not sun affected yet. Area is tracked out pretty bad however.
