Kootenay Passable

<p>Laps of Lightening Ridge. Plenty of Ld sluffing to chase you down hill. Indicator slopes showed some slab quality about 40 down, but resistant and hard. ECTN results 20m off ridge crest on NW aspect at 2020m. Right way up snowpack with some MFcr at various depths, no obvious PWL in top 100cm. Didn't see any Sst and bond to Swd looked good where observed. Skiied the steepest short runs off the ridge we could find, but take care around the sluff - it goes pretty big Sz1. </p>
