Upslope Snowfall provided 5-10cm during today with calm to light winds until 2800m. This new snow is on top of refreeze surface from previous clear sky above 1800m. We observed some sluffing on the extreme rock faces. Temperatures at 2475m was -5℃. Above 2800m, HN 5-10cm on glacier and we needed boots crampons, but we did not bring them and we turned around to go skiing. Skiing in the N couloir with a repelling down. Skiing below the couloir was surprisingly better than expected and snow in the gully got punchy below 1800m due to no refreeze over night.
