Comments
A nice skin track led us up McGill shoulder today. Moderate SW winds up high with some noticeable wind effect. Debated skiing the Main Chutes but ended up skiing the glades and Gun-Barrels. Ski cutting @2100m kicked off small soft slabs down ~25cm and cracks shot off ski tips well into treeline elevations. Could be an interface to watch for with Thursday's incoming precip.
The skiing was amazing with 40cm ski pen above 1500m and good turns down to the summer trail.
