Xmas Gully is still perfectly skiable top to bottom as of today (was there, did it)

Fun short jaunt, we should be back at the parking lot by late morning/early afternoon. No skins required, dry hike to Montizambert meadows, swap boots then steep snow climb carrying skis. Transition to skiing at the top.

Crampons may be helpful if snow is hard in the morning but it had softened enough by 11am today to do without.

No need for AVI gear, snow is completely settled.
