Comments
Mixed bag of conditions on the N-E faces below Paddy's Peak facing the highway. We had planned to get up to the NE bowl and try to ski some lines overlooking it but were immediately greeting with abundant whumphing and shooting cracks at treeline, seemingly a combination of storm slab at lower elevations and wind slab further up. We made it to the top of treeline when everything turned into concrete then turned around to do a few laps of amazing powder on the lower slopes.
