Buckle Deep

Today we sled-skied in the Blunt Range. We had clear skies with a light westerly breeze at ridgecrest. Alpine temperatures are still below freezing. We skied a west facing slope and found good skiing conditions with 5 - 10 cm of cold snow over firm older surfaces, all the way down into the trees at 1300m. We didn't see any new avalanches. Cornices are large right now so we made sure to avoid these, travelling well back from ridgelines and not travelling underneath slopes with overhead cornice hazard.
