invincible/Gypsum

<p>Skied sheltered north and SE trees. good skiing. Trail breaking above 1950 was not too bad. Got to the top of steep SE Avalanche path in the invicible drainage. There were fresh winds extending 3-4m down slope. Jump stomped, and a ski cut sent the small slabs down the track which entrained facets to the bottom of the track. Scrubed to ground in the start zone. Size 1.5 running 170m about 5 wide and the top and 15 m wide in the fan. </p>
