<p>North facing slopes holding snow well. All south facing slopes heavily sun affected due to inversion from the past week. Good stability where not sun affected HS approx 140cm @ 2000m, varies heavily with aspect change. 30+ creek crossings on the snowmobile were horrendous. Not recommended until creeks fill in a bit. Good (LONG) day. </p>
