Went up towards cats and found much deeper and spicier conditions than near the resort. We experienced significant whumpfing, and ski cuts and test slopes were reactive. Partner thought she remote triggered an avalanche on lee slope, but we did not investigate. Enough red flags that we went back towards the resort to enjoy the free refills.
