Chose to ski tszil in hopes of scoring some pow while mitigating concerns about rising avy risks. Snow looked promising until we reached the upper lake where the wind was howling and an apparent inversion resulted in all the sweet pow turning to cake. Skinned toward tszil and decided to abort where we left all the trees behind as the snow conditions worsened. No slides or any signs of instability seen.
