Skin track has seen some traffic (thanks Steven for the skin track and beta from Calgary ACC) so well set now. Alder bash lower down and lots of kick turn practice. Heavily wind hammered towards the summit. Possible to go from car to summit with skis using crampons (some of our group chose to bootpack). Wind affected when first dropping off the summit, then nice turns through the gully. Avoided obvious steeper, wind loaded terrain on the descent but main bowl felt stable. No signs of recent avalanches observed.
