Had big plans but only did a lap up and down Ridge 2000. Conditions were terrible, dust on crust all aspects and elevations. Exceptionally difficult uptrack setting. However the mountains were beautiful with stunning light and a fresh blanket of blower.

Avalanche

Loose dry sluffs running surprisingly fast and far on crust and setting off pockets of soft slab up to sz 1.5.
