Lower slopes were wind affected, but we soon got to beautiful powder, up to 40cm near the top of the ridge on looker’s right. We travelled along the ridge but didn’t top out, choosing to stick below the alpine. Chose a beautiful rib to the skier’s right of the other tracks— beautiful fall line run—but avoided the gully further skier’s right which had fresh avalanche debris. Zoom in on the first photo. Cold, light snow, sunny day.
