Comments

Did a lap in the trees on a W asp between 1700 and 2000m. Ski pen was around 40-50 cm, winds were mod at ridge top from the west at 1pm. Great skiing, some minor cracking on more wind affected features and some soft slab properties observed when jumping on undercut slopes. Saw 4 Na Sz 1.5s on the way out on both W and E asp, all mid slope in steep gullies (picture).
