Comments
Stomped around today in various locations for cracking and collapsing in the harder wind slabs as well as some test slopes in the softer slabs. Only got reaction when we started skiing laps, one small slide pictured here on a steep (approx. 42 degree) rollover in a N facing gully a few hundred feet SW (skier's left) of the main Dead Tree shots.
