Comments
Party of one skied Superior down about 4 pm. Top was blown wind crusted. After minus first 1,000 ft. rest was skiable with intermittent crust and pow. Looked stable saw some naturals that ran about 200-300 ft. more of point slides about 60 ft. wide. Some rocks still needing cover up there.
