Very very wet day out. Tree bombs started dropping first thing in the morning and they were heavy! Snow up top was heavy but not particularly consolidated and skied pretty well. Lower down it quickly turned into wet cement. Multiple skin wax applications required through the day and the group still struggled with ice and snow on skins, skis, bindings etc. Snowed quite heavily throughout the day- not quite rain. Coverage was good down to the creek and crossing is straightforward at the usual spot
