Quick Observation
Went up to Fraser Ridge to ski North aspects with the AST2 group (Skookum). Skinning up on the south side of Fraser was crusty and windy but dropping in on the North side of the ridge had well settled, well bonded storm snow. Access into our run required some extra care as there was some wind slab at the entry. Second run, skinned up North face of the ridge and came across some pockets of wind slab but they were isolated and were easy to manage. South aspects were continuing to get cooked by the sun with signs of pinwheeling and point releases. Skiing was variable powder, deep but grabby at times. 10/10 would ski again.
