Churchill - Thursday 12th. Great skiing for the top ~450m at churchill with 30-40cms "fresh" in sheltered treeline and around 20cms in the South path. Mid path and below, a breakable crust was beneath the most recent 10-15cms so skiing deteriorated lower down. Several whumpfs btl associated with crustand facets. Convective weather all day. No new avy obs. River crossing still good. Buck Lake - Friday 13th. Survived Friday the 13th at buck lake. Headed for the most northerly path. Found more supportive crust today than at chrurchill which made breaking trail and skiing a little nicer. Access is the best I've seen it and the skiing is also very good compared to usual. Skied a northerly aspect into the north path which skied very well. True solar or high elevation polars would ski best. Either supportive crust or no crust at all. If conditions allow, go make use of the uptrack.
