Good day skiing. Warm and Wet! Skin wax recommend. Skiing up high was good, sharks, ice, alders and creeks were all ALMOST gone. The high entrance to N bowl was looking a lot better and almost skiable!

Ski cut the convexity near the low entrance to N bowl and received results. It did not step down and we were not able to reproduce any similar results on much smaller but similar slopes. Nicky’s was sluffing and had entrainment lots of snow.
