Pig's Back

Sunny day with little wind. Snow conditions were highly variable and unpredictable above treeline- one spot would be soft powder, and a few feet away would be bulletproof hardpack. Breakable crust on top of soft powder was common. There were a few spots of decent skiing near treeline, but the snow was so shallow that it was hard to turn without scraping the ground. Snow was probably not deeper than 50cm in most places. The approach and exit were very bushwhacky due to a lot of deadfall, rocks, roots, etc. which would normally be buried. The whole area could benefit from more snow to bury these features and make travel faster. Bad ski conditions for sure - snowshoers and hikers would probably be faster than skiers in these conditions.
