Got hit by a some heavy spindrift/loose dry snow right at the steepest point while bootpacking up the Bell Couloir. Enough to knock me backwards. Slid/tumbled down approximately 100m. Snowing on and off and some spindrift coming down the lower gullies/usual spots. A few other parties rode without incident and conditions were amazing. Bad luck day. Lost my poles. Hoping G3 has another flash sale.
