Not much to safely ski in K-Country right now at the tree line limit. Ski cut was unreactive, however all ridges in Burstall Pass had healthy cornices sitting on top of them. Chose a conservative line down on skiers right from the second highest shelf. The descent gulley was also fun, but mind the deep penetration of skis sinking to the November 12th facet.
