Comments

Saw old debris from multiple wet loose avalanches on all aspects. Snow was crusty over mashed potatoes. Lots of roller balls and tree bombs.

Riding quality was sub par, easy skinning, 150-200m of vis. Stayed out of the alpine for the most part.

Road has some dirt patches, but “technically” skinnable from the gondola
