Blackcomb Backcountry

<p>Had a nice tour of Cham 2, Vista, Chisel and Poop Chutes. Very firm all around but not much for ice. Actually pretty fun chalk skiing in all the chutes. Belayed a ski cut on chisel and couldn't get anything to move. Pretty much everything that could have avalanched seemed to in the last cycle. Noticed a massive one in Vista bowl (photo). Poop chute was firm and chalky at the top and transitioned to heinous breakable crust at ~1950m.</p>
