Comments
Good skiing quality in the north facing bowl below Pac-Man Couloir, above Bow Summit. Thin on the edges, but the guts were very supportive with soft snow on top (where we skied). Skin track up was conservative up the ridge with a small boot pack near ridge top. Recent tracks in the couloir (~2 days). Lots of avalanches in steep alpine terrain on solar aspects; dry and slab. Another party that skied the ridge above Bow Summit commented that it was very crusty and variable on that face.
