Sneaky snakes and wonky trees Dodging creeks, then cold smoke You'll feel the burn
Between 100cm and 130cm of mostly soft and unconsolidated snow, near tree line and lots of snow coming down in the afternoon. About 200m of good skiing below ridge top for this time of year. Considerably less snow at lower elevations. Creeks and hidden hazard are still pretty nasty. Whatever was sticking out of the snow today will probably be barely covered tomorrow and it's mostly survival skiing at that point. Be ready to fight some mean looking alders near 1500m (e.g gorge). The road up was wet, a bit muddy, icy, slushy, getting snow covered and there are 2 small creek crossings on the way up.
