We found good skiing on sheltered slopes around treeline with SE aspect. 10 cm of soft snow on top is skiing fast. Skinning up is slippy on steeper aspects that are getting hit by the sun. As the week has progressed, and we travel widely in the region with few signs of instability, we are inching into bigger pieces of terrain. Still keeping good travel habits, and heads up for variability, but we were feeling good about stepping out on this slope today.
