Good skiing in Mongolia, the Peace chutes and back into the mammoth droppings. Rain crust is noticeable under the new snow but riding is still good. Loose dry running fast on the surface. Spill zones in the fans are loading fast under the headwalls.

Ski cut toe of the rocks skiing back into mammoth droppings. Spill zone was being loaded from all the spill off the steep rocky slopes above. Toe of the rocks propagated 50-60m out of front of me. Same result could be achieved in all similar terrain features. Debris was the best skiing we had all day. Gotta find the dragon before it finds you!
