Quick report
Lots of wind affected new snow from the storm on Tuesday and Wednesday. Coverage was a bit thin with not much of a base on the lower portion of the skin track. We were able to drive with 4WD and decent clearance to the lower trailhead. Wind had transported snow into the gully above the pond. The top near gash point and the east facing bowl were with scoured sastrugi so we decided not to dig a pit. The skiing was a bit grabby, had to keep those tips up and not turn to sharply.
