    Nice!

    Had no idea the snow was still so good up there - the backcountry must still be in good shape.

    I'm afraid it might not be so good anymore. Pretty wind scoured after yesterday, hopefully we get some significant snowfall soon!

    We had our first day of skiing on the 18th and it was fine. 30 cm of fresh on top of the crust. sunshine. we could see a bit of wind in the trees early in the day but by the time we got up to 7200 ft it was less than 5kmh. I guess Ymir Peak blocked it all for us.
