Fraser chutes warm storm wash and repeat

<p>We skinned up Fraser chutes area looking for sheltered skiing with a storm approaching from the south. The skiing was good, and fast where we found boot top powder in sheltered areas. It was snowing lightly, vis was not great, and it warmed up in the afternoon to near zero back at the highway. We dug around and did a profile at the tree line (see snowpack tab here plus AvCanYukon instagram and facebook for a video). </p>
