Comments

Trail to the creek crossing is very icy. Followed a fresh skin track up the ridge and was able to get 1 obvious shooting crack and 4 or 5 whumpfs in the more open tree areas at Christiana. Skin track settling/crackling under the skis. Convex side of the small pillows were collapsing from a distance during the ski down.
