Dropped into acidophilus to some deep heavy powder. Skied all the way down just below the fingers. Hiked up 5 mile basin, but stayed well below the top of the tree line. Dropped into one of the fingers and had a great run to Valley bottom. Lots of tree bomb debris. No whumfing or cracking. Saw a small crown as the terrain transitions towards the burn. Elevation of the crown would have been around 1850 m.
