Skiing was amazing, did numerous laps off baldy rocks on the west slopes with endless face shots and some of the deepest power I have ever skied. Over the head face shots every turn. Some sluffing on the steepest of slopes but overall good. Last lap we decided to ski the SE slopes that would put out closer to the hut. We mis-judged how steep it was and I remote triggered a small gulley ~size 1 and then got on the ridge and was able to ski cut/ propagate the next slope over with a jump turn on the ridge. All storm snow slid down to rain crust 50cm+ for a size ~1.5. This aspect appeared to be much more wind affected.
