We skied somewhere in the area. We found some good snow and fine skiing in a south-ish broad open bowl in the alpine. 15cm to 20cm of nice powder over hard crust and no wind effect above 2000m. Punchy zipper crust below that. Barely any snow at 1500m and below.
Adjacent basin with similar aspect but considerably steeper path had a 2-3 cm punchy crust even at higher elevations and skiing was barely not sketchy. Lots of debris lower down and in all runouts from the last 2 storms and avy cycles.
Keep your edges sharp and make sure you eat all your snacks!!
