Better than Expected

We started out with low expectations for the skiing today but found some decent turns on north aspects at alpine and treeline elevations. With the temperatures staying cool at -1.6C at 2150m and the sun staying behind the clouds all day, hazard stayed low the entire time we were out there. Slopes that face the sun had a 10cm thick hard crust over them while north facing slopes had a 2cm thick crust over them. The dusting of snow we received two days ago had been sifted by winds onto northerly slopes so there was between 5-10cm of soft snow over the crust making for fun skiing. Also saw a lynx out enjoying the spring day!
