Skinned up from N end of Sherbrooke lake to col N of Paget Peak (~2550m). November 23/26 crust supportive / unbreakable. Locally stripped by wind. Overlying snow was generally not slabbed up or cohesive. 5 - 30cm of loose dry snow made for great turns. Sluffing on steep (>40deg) rolls / drops, but no propagation. Poor bond of storm snow to underlying rain crusts but skied well on slopes <30 degrees.
