We hit the Decoeli area today on our way home to Whitehorse for a few turns. The snowpack is thin but the sled trail is still good. We found decent skiing on buffed in north facing alpine slopes. The snowpack is thin in there but i's pretty wind welded and we climbed and skied steep alpine slopes with few concerns for triggering avalanches. That being said, we assessed the snow each time it changed to make sure we had not wandering onto a more recently deposited, more sensitive wind slab.
