Decided to give Parkers a rip before heading home for the day. Conditions were wind blown and hard slab on far left gully where current skin track is. Crossed over center gully to look at ascending left side of main slopes against trees. Same thing, hard and nasty with lots of wind, made for a rough climb up to the top of the trees. Decided to take a chance on the center gully on the way down and third time was a charm. Seemed like the wind was laying it all down softly in the center gully and made for great riding in 30cm plus light powder. If giving Parkers some of your time, try the center gully for the next few days. ~TW
