A quick lap of prospector, descended partway along to the knife’s edge before dropping down the trees into the bowl. New snow was very wet by the time we got there with pinwheels propagating into fairly big wet loose slides. Once the new snow was out the way we descended towards b shaft and tried to stay to lower angle terrain (<30), as this didn’t slide in the same way. Skiing wasn’t bad when turns could be made, just pretty heavy!
