Skied various lines on N aspects into the spearhead glacier and exited via corona bowl. Skiing was very good, light winds and warmed up slightly through the day. Blackcomb skin track very icy and took a few souls! Dry powder that felt consolidated in bowls and open terrain, couldn’t get anything to react in steeper and convex sections. Minimal wind slab on Lee slopes, was more loose dry powder that was 10-20cm deep. Loose slide from Sunday still evident and shows there could be reactive pockets on steep slopes. Rain crust more prominent below 2100m but with dry snow on top it was still good skiing. Variable and crusty on ridges and windswept slopes. Solar aspects have formed a crust and are variable. Lots of debris in the corona and Husume exits
