Group of us headed up to attempt Popes Peak. While skinning the moraine, a size 2.5 natural came down from the steep headwall. We ended up turning around given the natural activity witnessed. The snow in the alpine was wind affected - made for some tricky skiing down. Skiing out of narao trees was dust on crust - left a little to be desired.
