The main thing to report here is the access road is getting very dicey. Very little to no snow as you head up past the garage for quite a while. Hard going on the sled - bashing rocks and my temp light came on before I could find some snow to cool it off. In hindsight, I could have made better efforts to find snow in the bush had I known it was so far till snow.
Skiing on non-solar aspects was quite excellent. Powder on a supportive base. Significant sluffing of the non consolidated storm snow on steep slopes was the only sign of instability.
