Great Skiing up Mt Bruce North Side. Saw evidence of an old avalanche cycle where multiple slides ran on the late late Feb temperature crust that is noticed in this area, the triggers were multiple small cornice failures. Skiing through the cliff bands and pillows and even through the cut block to the sleds was powderfull. Breaking trail on sled to the trailhead and skin track to the top was serious work but overall awesome day in the mountains.
