Mcdermid + Tunnel

Spent Friday night at Tunnel hut. Friday we skied a sheltered SE slid path through the trees off Planetary for really nice soft turns through surface hoar galore. Saturday we went to ride one of the McD Couloirs and settled on Hidden after peering into bonus and the steep entrance looked sluffed down to crust ( another party skied it and confirmed, rest was wind slabby). The SW ridge had been wind hammered and the NW couloir skiing was through soft non reactive wind slab, grabby for skiers. Mod- strong winds Friday and Saturday, whatever little snow was available for transport was blowing, windward areas scoured. Widespread surface hoar everywhere in sheltered areas, all aspects, up on 2000m ridge tops. Wherever the wind couldn’t get it.
