We got an early start to take advantage of the last morning of cold temperatures and dry snow from this cycle. Fresh snow (40cm at the bottom to 10cm at the top) was sitting on top of the crust and showed signs of improved bonding as we climbed up. From Easy hand shear results to medium breaks to no results or slab at the top so we skied the main objective. We then headed to the N.E. ridge and skied great snow in the trees facing East. Aspects with more north and west were wind hammered and touchy small wind slabs from last night on the climb up near the top that were easily avoided. Skied from the car, and had an awesome day on Tecumseh. Was back out in this zone in the PM with my kids playing in the trees and saw lots of wet snow avalanches on steep south aspects. Snow was already starting to refreeze on the surface by 5pm.
