Skinned up from Mirror Lake TH starting at 8am towards Tom, Dick and Harry. Calm in the trees but steady snowfall. Quite warm (32Fish) from 3,600’ to 4,600’ with some roller balls observed and snow clumping on skins. South winds picked up at the ridgeline with active snow transport and obvious wind slab formation at and just below the ridge. Skied a few fun lines in and out of the trees in 1-2’ of fresh but did punch through to a crust and some rocks in a few spots on the NE side of the bowl.
