We had an amazing day on Begbie Shoulder, with bottomless powder that made me wish I had fatter skis. It was snowing lightly all day and was quite windy at ridge top so we found an alternate way into our our line to avoid the loaded start zones. At treeline and below we saw some very small slabs in the top 10cm, but nothing to be overly concerned about. We also witnessed a very large sluff come off some rocky cliffs around 330pm.
