Skied surprise today! Easy travel into Fairview however once in the alpine lots of wind affect and most slopes being blasted. Boot pack was in good shape and we did have some decent turns however careful turns to avoid sharks. Dug a pit at the top surprise. 80cm total, 25 ct around 60 cm down and a small wind slab forming. Down low is very thin and the last 100m to the trail we walked. I would suggest waiting for 30+ more until going. Although great day to be in a gorgeous area.
