Stuck to steep north trees from ~1900m-1500m. Hollow sensation in snowpack when breaking trail. Super touchy on steep convex rolls or unsupported pockets...Electric propagation ski cutting unsupported steep pockets. Storm snow sliding on rain crust ~30-40cm down. Had to manage micro features pretty closely to make sure we didn't take a ride into a tree. Wouldn't dare to step out into any exposed or complex terrain right now.
