Skied Grizzly Shoulder and the Hourglass. It was deep, no surprise. A bit of wind affect on the very top of the shoulder but snow was generally light and loose. Lots of sluffing but that's about it. Lower pitches still need some filling in. Scariest thing was probably the tree bombs which fell heavy and often with strong gusting winds. Maybe those guys skinning up wearing helmets/goggles knew what they were doing after all.
