Tried to get up Ursus Minor, turned around after we found wind slabs on the steep slope short of the col. Dug a pit and had a failure CT12 25cms down, but very variable across the slope. The ski quality was terrible in the alpine with lots of wind affected crusty snow, but excellent at treeline and below treeline with some fresh snow blown in. We ended up doing two laps of Ursus trees instead. Pretty cold up high, moderate temps down in the trees.
