Comments
Snow started too be slabby due to the wind when we reached 2000m. No signs of wind slabs in the trees. We rode a open slope back into Fish, riding along trees and gullies ridge tops. Small wind slab (size 0.5-1) went as soon as we pooked in the avy path at about 1900m. The slope we skied was S facing, the crust below the 20-30cm we got it still reactive. Good ski cutting skills was a good thing to have, even tho on a snowboard!
