Skiing in the sun was pleasant, skiing in the shade was uncomfortably cold. Good snow a bit of wind effect and a bit stiff from the cold but generally good skiing(much better than kananaskis). Made it too the chick-a-boom col, the glaciers in the area are full of holes and don't look worth travelling on. A few loose dry to size one on the south aspects, and a couple small wind slabs on north aspects at 2600m to size 1. Most south facing avalanche paths had old debris to the top of the fans.
