Xmas Eve Black Prince Trees

<p>Two laps of the Black Prince Trees. 10-15cm of unconsolidated powder made for nice turns, but challenging where previous tracks were buried. Conditions were overcast, light snow but minimal accumulation by the end of the day. Wind was light in the morning, building through the day. We stayed below treeline. Noticed some wind slab at the edge of the trees, ~2300m. No signs of instability, or Santa. </p>
