Was gonna go check out something on Cheops, but everything was closed today. Good thing too. Almost everything on Cheops had some sort of point release throughout the day. Instead toured up Video. There was 1 other party behind us that did not make it to the peak (maybe because it got stormy) our patience paid off almost an hour later when the sun came out to let us have our run. We found a lovely 15-20cm on a well supported crust. Not powder by any means, but was nice to get fresh turns. As soon as you got to the top of the hospital gullies wet slides were easily triggered and ran surprisingly far.
