Last weeks avi cycle created a lot of obstacles to ski around but where it hadn’t slid 15cm of dry snow overlaid the rain and temperature crust at 2000m+ and skied very well. A cold morning today permitted good travel. Sun was intense by late morning.

Remote triggered the steep lee ridge feature above our ski line on the last run of the day. Debris travelled over many of the ski tracks on the open slope below that we had previously laid down. Pushing close to steeper wind loaded terrain as the day went on was our mistake.
