On our way up the ridge we noticed this interesting bit of skiier compaction.(these are tracks from early nov) We deceided to investigate where the snow was going "in such a hurry". Not much to our suprise we found hard slab conditions around the ridge. It took quite a bit of force to get this little pocket to come out. It was not very big, but large enough to injure a person with such lean conditions
