Submitting this separate from my on for the day since it took out the tracks of a solo skier from the day before.
Photo 1: debris from near bottom including what is left of the solo skiers tracks from I presume Wednesday. Skier entrance tracks were visable to the lookers left of the crown which is not very easy to see in my photo. Slide funnels into a gully and then widened below. Crown is about 50' wide.
Photo 2: debris
Photo 3: skinning up debris, one of my favorite safe travel methods.

Debris was hard, not soft like the last time I was in this area.
