Trophy Meadows
Was able to drive the road to Trophy Meadows till 1500m or so. Active work being done on road 80. Skied and walked until consistent snow at about 1700m. Icy refreeze in the AM. Punch through to ground on wet snow on exit.
70-90cm of snow at tree line. About 5-7cm sitting on thick supportive crust. The new snow had melted and refrozen at least once. Skied well.
At 2000m I punched through the crust while boot packing to the ridge in a shallow zone. No melt here. Crust about 30cm thick on top of 40cm of facets and surface hoar.
Ridgetops retained large cornices on all aspects

Skied up to the sled turn around point on Crystal ridge and enjoyed sunny corn skiing from 2000m down to about 1500m where the snow got isothermal. Sled compacted snow stayed supportive all day. We were able to drive to 1100m (4km) on Crystal logging road in a pick up truck with only a couple of short wet/muddy sections. Consistent snow coverage on the road all the way to the base of the sled ski zone. Probed 150-170cm of snow at 2000m.
