With new snow and wind deposits ~15cm of fresh since yesterday afternoon. Moderate winds blowing down the valley all day (09:00-14:00). The base of the col ascending up Balu pass was quite wind effected but the shoulder above received a bit of wind deposit and skied well. Ridge winds at the back of Balu were sustained @ ~20km/hr with gusts of at least 50 from 12:00-13:30. No document moment in the snow on the moderate slopes we stuck to or the surround terrain. Ski out only has a few sharks left but definitely some sparks to to had.
