Skinned up from 1500 ish metres. Snow pack was low and skiing (as well as walking) was fairly rugged until 1800 metres due to a breakable rain crust on the surface. Low snowpack meant lots of creeks, brush and blowdown. Above 1800 metres the crust was much less prominent and no longer noticeable above 1900 metres. Wind affect was obvious up high, but still some protected slopes to be found. -16 at 1250pm at 2100 metres, chillier then expected !
Snowpack
CTM 15 RP down 25 on decomposing stellars/surface hoar.
