Classic Fraser chutes

The cold temperatures came back today, it was -24 as we ski toured up into Fraser chutes. The wind was very light and visibility was limited. The snow depth really varies in the chutes, one chute was only 65 cm deep with a nasty depth hoar at the base. This depth hoar above the ground could be a concern with our next incoming storm and potential for layers to step down. The weather was starting to change at 2 pm with light snow starting to fall. We traveled cautious today avoiding overhead hazard and sticking to familiar terrain.
