Excellent conditions at Shovelnose on Nov. 17. Great coverage through the trees from cut block to ridge. Snowpack was deep, right side up and solid, except for minor sections of windslab in the alpine near ridge crest. Skied from near the summit of Fee SW1 down into the prominent W facing gully. Very deep and stable.
