Quick report

Weather
warm, cloudy, stormy, windy

Rode paget glades today with 2 laps on the west glades and decided to push toward the lookout for our last lap down to the car. we remote triggered a size 1 from just after the lookout from close to the skin-track that triggered on the convex roll not far after. decided to try to keep skinning out further to find a more mellow way down. first skier ski cut and set off a sz 1, 1.5 that funneled through a couple rock/gully. we decided to ride the bed surface down and after that slope the snow felt much more supportive in the trees. snow quality throughout the day was good, winds were pretty strong, but not constant
