Panorama Ridge

Supportive and fast travel up the summer trail to Panorama Ridge. Everything down low was frozen with 5cm dust on hard rain crust. The alpine section of the upper ridge skied reasonably well with wind pressed powder. Hooky unpredictable crust in the open mellow trees made for difficult skiing. Sun/temp crust not rain, I believe? No instabilities noted but we didnt test anything steep. Trident paths and Bell had not slid. Some big crowns off steep slopes at the back of the valley and along the ridgeline facing the TCH (photos). Fun day to see wierd conditions but ski quality probably not worth the slog.
