Road open to Snow /bench lake TH ,good coverage
Very warm boot top or worse till above the waterfall gulley. Ankle deep above. A small rockfall started a hisser
on the final pitch and we aborted. The special avy forcast was very appropriate. the
Downski was very skiable but oh so slow. Like skiing with your skins on maybe worse.
Lots of snow needs to corn up.
