Snowpack

Snow up Cardiac Ridge was great, and all tracks from yesterday had been almost completely filled in.  Really no rime crust or punchy skiing around the cardiac vicinity.  Of note, heli skiiers hit all the ivory's pretty hard today, although there were still some tracks to be had.  Getting there, however, variable conditions off of N facing pole line pass and down to intermediate ridge.  Returning on south facing, the low angle snow held well, but if much angle was added, skiing conditions tended to be variable.
