Comments

Lots of sign of natural avalanches from the last few days.

Lots of interesting accordion action and some bigger slides from underneath the mongolia headwall.

Skiing was great but after changing over in the bottom of the bowl we had some serious settlements and very loud whoomfing. All this took place on the flat slopes in bottom of the bowl. Followed the old skin track back out and had another great lap back into the hill.
