<p>Good skiing on the descent from purple knob. Hard, almost boiler plate snow with ~10cm soft snow on top by the col. Further down, the snow was more powdery but slightly wind affected. Calm day, warm day, -10°C at 8am at the car and ~1°C at 2pm upon return. Lots of debris on solar aspects approaching the col. Cornices were quite large too.</p>
