Went for a romp up Balu pass to scope the damage up Connaught. Pretty much everything slid to valley bottom - grizzly, hourglass, Cheops North #1, STS couloir, hospital gullies, and 8812 bowl. The only paths that didn't slide were frequent flyer and the slope below Cheops shelf. Skiing was fun on Balu, but the exit through the valley was heinous.
