Some of my numbers are estimates. I'm confident in the estimated size and start /end elevations of the runout. Recent weather was partly cloudy with a rapid temperature drop followed by a rapid temperature rise. Start zone terrain was non-skiing extreme but mid level area and base runout area were prime skiing terrain.
