Hi,

We toured in the Mount Murray area today and found okay skiing on north aspects 
with about 10-15cm of soft snow on top of a variable wind crust.  There is a 
thin sun crust on south aspects that is buried by approx 15cm of new snow.  
Snowpack depths were highly variable above treeline and we turned around when 
we encountered thin areas connected to some larger alpine slopes. We did not 
see any new avalanches and there was no wind while we were out today. 

All the best,
