Comments

Some whumpfing on skin track, spotted a size 1.5 off of Noseeum (see photo) in high alpine area.

Snow pack was extremely variable, dust on scree on windward at alpine with wind effect and slab, 40-60 cm in sheltered and 120 in leeward. Skin track after the decision point between Oxo and dolomite is a bit ambitious unless you love (or want more practice in) kick turns and the out is a bit of a sketchy luge track that desperately needs coverage.

Beauty day on 93N!
