And I was going to say exact opposite as you! Goes to show it all depends which area you ride. We rode Renshaw on Saturday seemingly the only ones in there as laid fresh tracks in the backside all day. Trail was icy on way up, and the storm snow from earlier in the week was getting mushy on top of the crust (just of small natural slides evident 10-20cm deep). Extremely low snow did not have much confidence playing around knowing how rocky it can be underneath.
Sunday was Clemina and much better, snow actually dry and trail in great condition parked around 4km unloaded right onto snow. Went to see the glacier. Found great stuff to climb in the trees and good traction.
