Paddy’s East Side

Skied east facing slopes off Paddy’s today. Approached the long way around via old road and climbing to ridge line on north facing slopes. North facing slopes had some soft snow below tree line, but otherwise were a mix of hard surfaces and scoured areas (some almost to ground surface). Turns down the east side were challenging, with a mix surfaces including hard slab at ridge top and a variety of crusts as we worked our way down, but no signs of instability. Warm temps seem to have affected snow surface below ~1000m. Alder bashing required to climb back out to the old mine road.
