Started at a leisurely 8:45am from the O’Hara parking lot. The overcast had us confident in staying out a bit later than usual on a spring day. Made it to about 2800m then decided to pull the plug based on that fact there were going to be no stellar views and poor viz. 5-10cm of freshies from the storm. We rode back down to the south couloir and skiid that. Very crust and scrappy up top but some fun turns down low. Evidence of a wet loose sz 2 from the last natural cycle. Other natural paths observed. A team skid the north couloir. Dropped a nomic somewhere in the couloir. Beers for its return :)
