Great skiing had on the upper two pitches of The Womb. We were concerned about the solar input on the S-SE overhead hazard but with cool winds and a thin layer of cloud covering the sun felt confident in riding this line. About half way down riding became challenging when powder turned into 12-24hr old loose wet shmoo from the previous day.
Avalanche
Numerous sz1 loose wet avalanches observed from previous day, coming down from the N/NW-E/SE sides of the drainage.
