Skied the 600 meter south facing gully. Up to 38 degrees. Some wind effect near ridge crest. Some old avalanche debris over the bottom fan. All skiable. Breakable crust zone between parking at 800 meters and 1000 meters. Good surface powder above with supportable layer for skis about 20 cm down. A lone snowshoer had punched holes in the ski track part way up.
