Comments

Skied Phantom Couloir after climbing to the end of the Ogden bench. No observed instability.

Phantom boot pack was reasonably supportive -facets found next to outcrops. Slough was quite manageable on the down.

West aspect into the bench had ~15cm on crust.

Started the day at -15c. -5c on return to the car.
