Excellent traveling conditions throughout.
VARY variable ski conditions. Everything from Thin,
skiable rain crust to wind hammered sastruggi.
Basically the skiing is not so good, however it is
skiable for good skiers above 2200m.
On east through south facing slopes the skiing is
almost corn like when the sun warms it up.....almost.
Below 1900m the skiing becomes quite technical....bad.
Also of note were some very large (size 3) cornice
failures out on Overlord and Fitzsimmons peak. 2
pulled out large slabs, one down to the Glacier ice
(2+m crown). Some of the chunks were as large a big
trucks. You may want to steer clear of all the big
cornices when things heat up again.
The Singing Pass trail was very difficult.
