Went up towards Cathedral via the south couloir then up to Cathedral shoulder to ski down the Trident. Ski crampons were very helpful. Ski quality in the couloir was variable and punchy. Not great skiing. First skier down popped a very small wind slab/cookie that ran surprisingly far (100m ish). The day was cloudy with winds picking up in the afternoon.
