Comments
Skinned partway up before it got too warm and soggy. A party of 3 splitboarders was in the area, though they decided to head higher up. After a few turns I knocked off a soft wet slab which was easily manageable (and pretty slow-moving). Triggered numerous other small wet sluffs on the rest of the way down.
