Comments
Great turns, bumps and jumps. Wind affected areas very reactive on facets; easy ski cut, on 35 deg treed slope released small slab avalanche, 15cm deep 8m wide between trees and small convexity, ran 100m. A little thin down low, some hidden rocks might get yah, but otherwise super smooth sailing.
