Comments

Wonderful day of skiing. (Image not representative of area we dug our pit) Dug a pit in on the edge of an open area around 2000 meters on a south west facing aspect. Touchy results! CTE 5 full planar failure down 40cm on buried whore. Followed by full planar failure CTM 15 down 70 or 80 cm on facets/crust. Stay wary out there friends. Amazing turns for November tho!
