A couple tracks were on the upper slope but I was the first thru this part. Steep sheltered north that I am fortunately familiar with. I have skied this line with heavy sluff, chest deep snow bit never saw it slide. Had to use my exit strategy that left me hanging on a tree. Broke down to a firm layer.
