Skiing the tow track was another option!

Limited Terrain Complete/Open.

:: Weather Conditions
Cloudy overhead, windy at times, starting to snow hard by the end of the day. Visibility not too bad out of the spindrift.
:: Snow Conditions & Info
Good drifts near fences, but also scoured areas of ice and thin re-frozen old snow. Most opted to off-load at tower 5 and ski Savages gulley. Tow track incomplete higher-up due to wind scouring, although exposed rocks were covered in ice so not such a problem for ski bases. Large drifts along the side of Presidents, but not quite complete enough to make it skiable (see pic). More snow and a change of wind direction overnight improved cover enough to make it skiable on Sunday though.
