Comments
There were some red flags on the way up, as whumpfing and shooting cracks. We chose to stick to high ground on the ridge and picked a less steep line down. The first rider missed the right way around a tree on the ridge and ended on a steep slope where he triggered an avalanche. We had some good turns on the less steep terrain, but the steep terrain was very sensitive to avalanches.
