Comments
Deep trail breaking out to prayer flags. Several large whumpfs on approach when we got off of yesterdays skin track. Kept it mellow to start out and skied ramp on skiers left side of gully. Second skier remotely triggered three pockets of storm snow on the opposite side of the gully (skiers right side). New snow only based on size of crown. Did not step down to deeper layers but enough to surely put a major damper on your day. Sensitive conditions kept us from skiing anything much steeper which was needed to keep moving with all the new snow. Headed out after one.
