Comments

Amazing day in Body Bag Bowl.

Wind affected up high on S facing slopes. One member of our party set off a size 1 from the storm slab in a very wind affected zone above tree line. No other instabilities when skiing body bag bowl & lines off of Disease Ridge, but could feel sections where the snow would collapse under us on uphill travel. Overall stable, great powder skiing with a few slabby / wind crusty surprises.
