Comments

No Whumpfing. Large cornices have developed overhead on the rock face. Large convex roller to navigate where the ridge trail (shoot access) meets the pillow line route on the way to the pass. We turned around at the convex roller due to terrain trap below. Other party went up in similar area, but got turned around near the pass due to large wind lip of some sort.

Glades and first few shoots have plenty of tracks from previous skiers, but partially filled in and still decent skiing.

Wind has definitely impacted anywhere that's out in the open along the pillow line toward the pass.
