Broke trail to the top of the Ursus Trees. 15 cm overnight at the trailhead. 25-30cm on yesterday's uptrack at treeline. The snow felt a little dense because of the wind and the warmer temperatures. Ski quality was still very good with plenty of faceshots. Very busy up there and by the time we finished our third lap, the snow was getting quite choppy. Lots of avalanche activity overnight in Connaught Creek, see avalanche tab.
