Comments

managed to climb into the bowl of bombtram with hopes of summiting but the snow was very deep and hard to skin in and we decided to lap the bottom half of the bowl. the conditions were pretty foggy but visibility was good for skiing (around 1km) we were expecting the avalanche conditions to be very very touchy however the 50 cm of storm snow was light dry snow on top of a solar crust and it was bonded very well. only sluffing snow was present no shooting cracks or hard wind slabs. on the way up ski cuts on a wide range of angles from 30-50 degrees came up with nothing and amazing skiing
