Skied Amabilis Mountain today. Wind and snow had been increasing through the afternoon. On the summit ridge encountered pillows and localized areas where wind-transported snow had filled in recent tracks from other parties. Today’s new snow reacted easily when cut with a ski and was poorly bonded with yesterday’s surface.
