Comments

Powder skiing from 2050 m all the way down to 1470 m. Skied N, SE, and S aspects, avoiding sunny slopes and convexities. No signs of instability on skin track and while skiing. New surface hoar observed on sunny slopes on top of storm slab. Road plowed up to at least 17km pullout. Skiing was all time!

N aspect trees taken from ridge NW, skied down ridge to avoid convex roll, and dropped N.
