Toured up and over Balu and a little up towards Christmas couloir. Poor visibility turned us downward quickly. Fresh windslab was evident up Balu pass. South side was riding great with 30-50 cm of quality snow. No major signs of instability. Snow quality was great all the way to the highway with easy travel via Tally Ho.
