Comments
Skied two laps from the “Apollo Bowl” ridge under Hector. We stayed away from the bowl itself and skied the far skier’s left mellow chute above the creek and went back up to ski the road facing glades back to the car. Winds were steady at ridge top. Good riding quality with maybe 5/10cm of new snow/transport. The NW slide path of Hector South Ridge had major debris, most likely from the last cycle.
