Gideon Peak

Skinning below 1800m was difficult due to hard, slick surfaces. Above 1800m crust slowly broke down, and was breakable by ski's, making difficult ski conditions. Best skiing was smooth, planar slopes below 1800m. Didnt travel above 2000m

Widespread natural cycle producing up to sz 3's on all aspect. Start zone's looked lower down on slope, on convex rolls. On Northerly facing slopes, stiff dense slabs observed, On Southerly aspects, more point release wet loose observed Ski cutting on steep test slopes produced no results as expected.

Below 1800m, trace amounts of new snow on top of supportive K crust Above 1800m, crust slowly becomes breakable by skis, making for difficult skiing, skiing improved as elevation increased, we didnt go above 2000m
