Comments

We skinned up the grizzly shoulder trail until we reached the cliff band. We bootpacked through it to reach the top of Roger's run at an alt of ~2150m. The skintrack was hardpack and slippery but still manageable.

We skied down Roger's run on which we found good powder on eastern aspects and more sun-affected snow and crust on the south facing slopes.

We didn't observed any new avalanche activity and the weather remianed stable throughout the day.
