Comments
Fun day avalanche viewing on day 3 of a big mountain decision making and ski mountaineering course with Holly Walker (Fall Line Guides). 280cm crown down to basal facets across the ridge above the moraine. Big one! Broken skies with a couple of convective flurries with In-N-Out Sun. Fun quality heavy pow above 1300m, getting extremely isothermal and concrete-like on the ski out by 2pm.
