Shovelnose

Checked out shovelnose today. Road is in good shape and can drive to around 700-800m with chains. Can skin from the truck. Forest at top of cutblock has good coverage and is easy to skin through and ski out of right now. There is a crust on most solar aspects and there were some issues skinning with wet surface snow. We skied north facing chutes and found around 10cm of heavy powder above a crust, but still unconsolidated for the time being which made for pretty fun skiing. There is around a 100cm base at 1600m.
