D1 Natural from steep rocky terrain was covering yesterday's skin track on Tele Gold and some old ski tracks. While transitioning, another D.5 occurred right in the gut of Tele Gold, with 9 uphill skiers on the skin track.
The photo below was taken from across the drainage, and shows the natural dry loose that covered up the old skinner.
