Sunny morning skiing out to Tim Jones Peak. Snow conditions highly variable, and much more wind affected than Cypress yesterday in treeline and above areas, with 10-20cm crown lines in steeper terrain. Tricky skinning conditions up the southwest slopes, which had been scoured back down to the raincrust in spots, and requiring bootpacking up. Sastrugi on all aspect. Best skiing was on low angle slopes where the snow has not sluffed off, or wind-transported away.
