We skied 2 laps in the Hector South Ridge area in deep powder conditions. We had many whumpfs while trailbreaking at treeline and could see the skier triggered avalanche in the Hector South Peak zone (separate MIN report with details from that party). We skied a couple of open, steeper slopes that didn't show signs of instability but would still be very cautious of that type of terrain. Access into the area has improved with the new snow, the lower section is now "ski-able" for those who enjoy sporty, low snow, bush skiing.
