Ski toured into Mt. Thomlinson over the weekend via Shewiliba Ck. Classic spring tour, in high alpine, on glaciated terrain..Excellent spring conditions with a strong crust in the A.M. Shewiliba and Shegisic Glaciers have good coverage, still 3m+ probed, but some bridges starting to sag. Fresh Grizzly tracks on the Shegisic. Summited via W ridge. Ski quality was mix of breakable crust, corn and powder on N. aspects above 6300'. Weather has been great under high pressure. Alpine temps still cool, +1, and very light winds. Sky clear in A.M., with convective cloud building by noon. Snowline @ 3300', and still carrying skier weight in late PM. Very little recent avalanche activity.
