Conditions were great out here. Heard a blast from the ski hill around 11:30 am. Only sign of any avalanche's other then a small (3x4 feet) slough from what I presumed to be yesterday or early morning riders. The snow on the NE-E was easy to skin up with a relatively solid base. The Nov. 12 layer was easily identifiable under the 25cm of snow left from this past weeks snow. We skied the SE face towards the ski hill. The top was, as predicted, windblown leaving a micro-thin layer of snow on rock. About 50 meters down, the snow thickened again leaving only some larger rock hazards. Temp was reasonable yet not above zero all day - mostly cloudy and a few patches of sun.
