Sat- Monday at Kees and Clair hut. Sunday, snow was perfect depth and dry powder. Skied lower trees on cowboy. Very High winds and no vis on ridge tops. Were avoided. Snowed heavy all day and night. Monday snow was too deep! Knee deep ski pen. Weather cleared mix of sun and cloud. On mellow slopes just sank and stoped. Un-skiable We avoided steeper slopes on Monday. Broke trail down signing pass to get out. Monday morning Observed large slide path on the middle of cowboy ridge while on the way out. Slide 3/4 down the slope. Maybe 40m wide crown. Likly Monday am as slide was still visable and not covered by the large overnight snowfall.
