Comments
Poor decision making and ignorance led us to going up superior south face today, got up and saw the slide from yesterday, so cut back skier right. Made a bunch of really nice stable turns for a while, then lower down, as it was starting to warm up, we started to really feel the ice sheet below the new snow and started looking for alternate routes. We traversed out skiers left, and while traversing, triggered a slide on some warmer new snow over the ice sheet, resulting in one of us getting carried around 100 feet, through a gully, managing to stop before the slide stopped, as it continued for around 50 more feet. The other two members of the party found an alternate way down, causing two other more minor slides. Not great conditions on superior right now
