Comments
Rode Rowe south/west face and summit. Around 20-40cm of fresh pow, wind effected in some places. No reactivity noted throughout the day and we didn’t see any natural avalanches.
Dug two pits at 2000m.
1st pit: 125cm, CT 30+ no failure.
2nd pit: 80cm, CT 30+ no failure.
Extremely wind affected above 2200m. Summit essentially completely wind scoured.
Riding was amazing, deep pow turns in the trees!
