Skied up Bath Creek and up to 2500m on Waputik Peak. Travel up the creek was good, with an average HS of 70cm and just a few sections of open water that required detours. The good travel ended as soon as we left the creek and began ascending a SW facing slide path. HS was an average of 40cm, which was moist below 2000m by 14:00. The alpine was heavily wind affected, see photo.
