Skied up to below Sapphire Col yesterday and up to Lookout Col today.
There is still cold snow on northerly aspects above treeline. we found a 1cm breakable crust up to treeline in the a.m. and the top 10cm moist by 3 p.m below tree line. We avoided south aspects and steep unsupported features. We minimized exposure to cornices. Ski crampons were used by some heading up the Asulkan valley. Lots of evidence of afternoon solar avalanche cycles size 1-3. Skied last run at 2p.m.
