Great conditions on BG today! 2100-2400m 15-20 of fist snow overlying a supportive MFCR making for good travel with out having to be too concerned for things stepping down to our SH layer. As we gained ridge top very minimal blowing snow observed with light winds from the SE. We were pretty surprised to see how minimal wind affect there was working our way along the ridge line. BG10 and 9.5 (we skied the very bottom opening as we traversed above the cliff band) they appeared to be in great conditions. As we entered the top of BG 9 the snow pack was shallower and feeling the effects of the sun stiffening up to 4f- but was still disconnected. Dropping into the face 25-35 of fist on top of the MFCR was usually what we found although there were some isolated areas where the snow was shallower but still dust on crust. exceptional skiing the entire way down. We opted to rap a steep snow gully so we could traverse out under BG left ice climb all the way to car park. Ruff way point for the rap in photos Great day!
