Couloirs and Surface Hoar

<p>We headed to the now well-travelled Paddy Peak area in search of steep skiing and killer views. We found both. Of note was widespread SH development to size 10mm up to lower alpine elevations. This could be interesting if buried this week. We skied big terrain today with confidence and observed no signs of instability. Old wind slab was unreactive. There is now up to 15cm of unconsolidated facets on the surface this could also become a layer of concern when buried. </p>
