rode whymper north bowl today. the conditions up high are great with deep pockets but down low is still a heavy bushwhack for sure. the lower section of the bowl was survival skiing with jump turns and side slipping, up high offered great turns with good snow, but with the high winds there is some windslab starting to show face and one in our party triggered today but everyone was okay. Would defiantly let this area fill in more before going back, some ptexing and skin repairs to be done now.
