Rode this zone for 4 days with a dedicated crew. Mostly steep couloirs opening into big alpine fans. Conditions were bombproof on Thursday; 8-10cm of light sugar slough on Friday; more propagation of that slough on Saturday; heavier wind slabs and much heavier slough on Sunday. When the new snow coming is added to the current wind slabs it will create touchy conditions for sure.
