We did Gully 1 on Saturday 9th heads up the start of the skin track is a bush whack then mellows out real nice we dropped in for the highest point 2020m snow felt great lots of sluffing. We dug a pit CT test and ECT test. Sunday we went back a did gully 2 drop in at 2050m snow wasn’t as good as gully 1. I think it has slid more and could do with more coverage lower down due to the alder.
