Skied Purple Peak via Wolverine Valley and out Purple Bowl (W aspect). BTL travel is challenging with lots of ski pen. We had shooting cracks at TL elevation, especially on convex features. The ALP was all hard slab which made for poor skiing conditions. We did not note any natural avalanche activity, except for the reported slides at Corral Creek.
