Comments

Found some really good turns in the South facing glades skier's left of Helen Creek. Then went for a lap in the NE aspect backside of Crystal Ridge. Skied a fan feature and some pillows all the way down to the denser trees towards the creek. Really good ski quality there. Probed up to 130cm at 2400m with no signs of the rain crust between 2200m/2400m on that side. Cool to see so many tracks from the weekend on the backside of Helen Shoulder, signs of good times!
