Comments
Rode the 93S Fire break. Skinned up from the parking lot through new growth to the top of the fire break, lots of whumphing, some shooting cracks, boot penetration was 50cm+ when stepping off the gear. Did not dig a pit. Experienced whumphing on the ski down but no other signs of instability.
