<p>S2S Gondola, Stadium Gullies
Overcast and snowing lightly. Light wind from the SW.
Below 1200m the snowpack is isothermal with trace new snow on top. 1200 and up, thick mid-Jan mfcr with 30cm HST. Travel in the trees is challenging with minimal new snow making it through the canopy and tree bombs/icy debris.
Above treeline, travel is easier with HS 235cm at 1380m. Freezing rain zipper crust developing in open terrain @ 1560m. Never got above the crust.
Most paths appear to have slid nearly full path during the rain event including Exit Gully and Cleavage Col size 2.5.
