Sure, there have been a few proper powder days scattered about, but they’ve been accompanied by hordes of humans and the snow has been mostly chewed up within an hour. Like many Parkites, I have toyed with the idea of hiking for some untracked turns, but this year in particular the avalanche danger has been far too high to risk it.
