Couloir was fantastic. Minimal sluffing while riding. Final ascent was laborious, followed roughly the same line parallel to the couloir the previous party did. Tracks from previous party had all filled in: think it was more wind blown snow than fresh snow. Lots of wind scour in Arethusa bowl down to top of treeline. Still sharky but easy travelling. As previous party said, keep an eye on the wind loaded terrain lookers right of the couloir. Didn't observe nor hear anything troubling, but stay frosty.
