Comments

Skied Ptarmigan Peak today. South face has a strong solar crust that is sometimes boot supportive but held nicely for chattery skiing. Found some corn near treeline about 1230 then quickly mashed potatoes until back to the sled track. The ski out was closed to a Grizzly so we were detoured up the chair and down the front side on our way out.
