A group 7 of us rode the Tryst lake chutes. 3-10cm of new snow from the trailhead to the ridge. The day was mostly sunny with intermittent flurries. Minimal wind. Observed no instability. Ran into a couple skiers warning about drum-like feelings at the first chute but we didn't observe any instability or windslab. Felt a bit of crust underneath the new snow close to the chutes entrance, but fluffy/dry pow after first steep section. Surprisingly a quiet day at Tryst lake - saw only a handful of groups in the area. The 7 of us did five laps - so you know, somewhat tracked out :-).
