Desease ridge storm laps provide exceptional quite of riding. we staid between 2100m and 1700m skied steeper slope in more dense trees and found a lot of sluffing. on the skin tracks we got propagation on unsupported area but never in a place steep enough to slide. Wind picked up and was moving alot of snow, along with a couple of whumpfs. this definatly would keep us away from the apline and open areas.
