Comments
Aimed to ski a NW slope and encountered a wind slab guarding the entrance. We poked around and the entrance feature collapsed but did not slide. We decided to ski steep trees on SE and NE aspects. Ski quality was amazing, solid rain crust was intact up to 2200m. Observed the flank of an avalanche in steep rocky terrain on a SE aspect.
