Comments

We skied into Curtis lake area from the highway. We skied multiple North aspects and South aspects. The riding quality was significantly better on North aspects as the crust is both deeper down and seems to be less distinct on North aspects. North aspects were wind loaded. We kept it conservative and avoided large convexities and steep treeline slopes.
