Went for a look at The Gorge 15km and got a lot of feedback. Shooting cracks everywhere. We pushed out multiple storm slabs in all sorts of terrain, including dense trees. All slabs were moving on top of last weekends storm. Crowns were 40cm down in most spots. It’s tough skiing out there. We avoided steep terrain due to extreme reactivity. But struggled to ski through mellow terrain because it was too deep! Also heard from another group that one of them went for a 20m ride in a size 1 avalanche.
