Toured up Victoria upper to the base of the final summit push to N Vic. Probed over 300m on the glacier. Excellent coverage - no sags observed. We finished climbing the avi path by 11am and it still wasn’t wet. Ski pen on the glacier varied from 15-30cm - probed about 40-50cm over the prior bullet proof interface. Good skiing - some temp crust but very skiable. Avi path at 2:45 was 5cm cream cheese on top of hardpack. Of note - millions of tracks in Surprise and more importantly, E facing aspect across from Surprise ran loose wet again - this time to ground (see pic) -while we were touring and ripped some more timber. Quite a few tourists walking in the upper valley just below avi paths - some with kids. Skated whole lake back.
