Tried to find some mellow terrain around Iago to explore during high avy conditions. Instead found 50+ cm of storm snow that made travel very difficult. Gave up at the Iago/Zupjok Ridge and had to ski back down our skin track as skiing anything under 40deg was impossible due to ski pen.

20cm storm slabs were readily shedding off while skinning
