Skied conservative terrain from the top of Spearhead glacier, descending skiers right before climbing up climbers left to the Vista Bowl entrance. Great turns on mellow slopes descending Vista Bowl, warm temps turned the snow soft and we avoid recent debris and overhead hazards. Numerous instabilities visible east towards Mount Charlie Chandle on steeper slopes and convexities.
