Comments
Walked up YJ (Yellow Jacket) to the ridge. Headed over to peer into depth hoar bowl and see the transport, big cornices.. about 30 feet away the bowl pulled out, propagated big, and stepped down to the ground/ OG PWL. Major repeater path this year! Watch out.. Ran full track quite a ways into the flats. This weekend is gonna be mega. Stay safe.
