Commentaires

Checked out tent ridge after the storm. We found 10-20cm of new snow on a firm but mostly edgeable crust on the eastern aspect of the bowl. West end of the bowl travels beneath a sun-exposed long cornice. Crampons would have inspired more confidence but we had none. The snow was dry when we descended around noon, but then the sun came out and by the time we got to the car the surface snow was wet. A few other parties in there but still lots of real estate left over. Impressive avalanche debris at the base from an old slide is visible but doesn't interfere much with skiing.
