A fine day in the Blow Me Downs. Sunny and calm. Fast travel over mainly supportive crusts. We approached the bull from below and climbed to the rim on the East facing slopes. Here we found thin and rocky sections.,hard surface crusts, wind effect, and quite a bit of old avalanche debris, making up the most of these slopes. Hard and slippery surfaces made for slip and fall hazards in more exposed Terrain. We traversed around the top of the bowl, and chose to ski in North facing run called Market Gulley. A dusting of new snow over fairly smooth and predictable crust made for enjoyable turns to valley bottom.

Large cornices cap, the northeast aspects of the bowl. No new avalanches observed.
