Couple of yoyo laps at treeline then out Grizzly path. Excellent skiing. At treeline: HST ~25cm, 40-50cm Fist snow on top of 4Finger melt-freeze crust. Snow was failing on the crust at steep rolls and pillows but no propagation due to lack of consolidation. No wind slab or storm slab present. Ski pen 30cm. Overcast, S-1, calm. Manageable bushwhack out the bottom of Grizzly Path, though our lack of area familiarity did cause a bit more work than was necessary...the folks who skied out on the right side of the lower path looked to have had a better time of it.
