Comments
Toured up a ridge separating 2 bowls on the east aspect of dolomite shoulder. Remote triggered 2 size 2 avalanches in the adjacent bowls on the way up. Trail breaking wasn't too bad, with about 15, sometimes 25cm ski pen. Skied back down the ridge for some mellow but good quality turns. On the way back up for our second lap, our track had been noticeably filled in by the wind in some places. Skiing down the surface snow was also noticeably stiffer on the second lap. Socked in most of the day.
