We had absolutely terrible conditions during our time in basecamp. Temperatures rarely fell below zero deg C and snow conditions were not conducive to climbing, let alone skiing. Despite that, we made our best effort to climb and ski the one ribbon of snow we could find - a discontinuous but well protected couloir on the south side of the glacier.
