Tree skiing in powder? Haven't heard of it!!

Great tree skiing between Revy and Rogers pass today. 20cm of nice supportive powder over the crust. No sluffing even on steeper features and no signs of instability yet. Drainage is mainly south and SW facing. Snow coverage decent at treeline and above but still thin below 1900m (surprise!!!). Just enough to ski well and forget about the deadfall, and then get a reminder resonating through your bones when you land on a stomp or a log. Creeks are still exposed and easily accessible for drinking, sub-alpine fishing or cold dips. Always carry a towel! We saw another party and many woohoos and weeeeees were heard. Hi! 👋

Weather Report

Generally good weather with light precipitation and moderate winds below tree line. Strong winds at ridge top and as we transitioned to the alpine. One of our skin tracks go completely covered after an hour or so. Obvious slab formation and snow transport in the alpine and at ridge top. Some fog patches at valley bottom in the morning.
