Ursus Trees

Riding quality was:

Good

Snow conditions were:

• Deep powder
• Powder

We rode:

• Mellow slopes
• Open trees

New snow and wind had blown a nice blanket over the ursus tree zone, looked like no one had ever skied there!

Wind affect from continued southerly light-moderate winds was visible and notable as a soft slab breaking trail, but still excellent ski quality.

Able to easily ski cut very predictable size 1's on lee unsupported features, still only a 15cm very soft slab at this point.

One recent avalanche reached valley bottom out of Cheops N Bowl (SZ 3), unable to see start zone.

Evidence of other (48hr+) debris in fans of STS and frequent flyer. Otherwise visibility was rather poor.
