Skied the small N facing chute to lookers left of the main bowls on the south ridge of ogden. Looked like a few people skied White Rabbit yesterday and left a nice skin track for us to use. At the ridge, temp was -5, calm winds, and tracks still visible from the day before. Ski cutting at the entrance produced some stubborn dry loose underfoot running up to 5 meters. No cracking or whomping. HS was variable throughout the feature, but enough to be fairly confident making higher speed turns. Debris from a Sz 1.5 dry loose in the run out from White Knight leaving the top looking a little thin. Looked like the bottom 3/4 would be good skiing!
