Amazing powder in the trees. Went up to 1630m and backed off due to low to no vis, flat lighting, and obvious storm slab formation and wind affect. Skied back down the skin track and set off two s1 soft storm slabs. Spent the day skiing the trees instead around 1500m and had perfect conditions. Deep fluffy powder ranging from shin to knee deep. Plenty to still go around. New snow seems to be bonding well. Quick HSTs showed no failure modes (1500 and below) - snow is quite unconsolidated. Foot pen ~ 80cm Steady temperatures throughout the day, staying around -1 and -2C (treeline).

Snow coming and going, never seemed more than S-1. Certainly windier at 1600m (moderate winds), 1500m in the trees had very light to no wind. Sun tried to poke out from the fog a few times from afternoon onward.
