Today we made it up phantom couloir in some chilly temps, there was some pretty variable conditions through out due to a wind skin that had formed in the line, didn’t top out today stopping about 30 m below the summit due to worsening wind slab concern. In the line its self there was supportive crust down 10-15cm. Through the lower choke I set off a 15 m wide windslab that was 10-15cm deep but didn’t entrain anything below and settled about 5 m down from the crown. The lower fan was lovely with 40 cm of fist and great skiing. The benches has seen heavy, heavy traffic although still some fresh lines around skiing was great with 35 cm of fist onto of a supportive crust. Ps Get out there and work on that early season goggle tan.
