Tecumseh Sweet and Sour Soup

Went into the upper bowl this morning with plans to look at one of the steeper north facing lines but back off due to more fresh snow than expected which had drifted into deeper pockets of stiff slabby snow. 10cm consistently and pockets of 20. This plus the snow from earlier this week is sitting on top of a bullet proof icy crust and not bonding well. We had easy planar hand sheer results 40cm down and with old big crowns and snow transporting off the ridge tops we opted to ski lower angle terrain and thinner areas. Fun skiing though and completely clam at the bottom of the bowl.
