Fraser Chutes

We did a creek-to-creek tour of Fraser today. The snow was fallin' and the wind was howlin', but the riding conditions were great! 15cm of dense storm snow is sitting on top of an eroding melt-freeze crust, which formed on Friday after the soggy week we had. While this sounds bad, new storm snow is well bonded to the crust, and ski conditions were overall pretty sweet. Wind is moving snow into cornices and windslab, so we gave steep north convexities a wide berth and kept plenty of terrain between us and the cross loaded alpine slopes above the chutes. The wind dissuaded us from getting the cameras out too frequently, so apologies for the lame photos. You'll just have to take our word for it!
