Comments

We skied the south east open trees. Wind blasted conditions up on the ridge and crusty in the trees and on lee slopes. Some good skiing to be found around 2100m (less wind effect). Significant wind loading was occurring in the south drainage/avi gully (west of our descent line) - we avoided all wind loaded slopes.
