Third consecutive day up at Redfish of sledding/touring. Lower valleys around 1700m filled with up to 50cm of wind sifted snow on top of a 5-6mm crust. Upper treed slopes of 30-42 degrees was variable with 20-40cm of fresh snow over a less dense 2-3mm crust. We were in the same zone all 3 days. Our tracks from Thursday and Friday were fully buried by Saturday. We sidehilled the sleds across partially open slopes (cut block) starting around 20 degrees and went progressively higher up to 30 degrees with no reactivity.
