Ogden Benches

Bit of a bushwhack to get in but once into the alpine the snow we found was excellent. Some pinballing could be seen from the headwall and older avalanche debris and crowns were still visible from the previous weeks. The skiing itself from the top was excellent, we were finding a snowpack of between 80-100cm with the top being ~30cm of fist atop ~40cm of 4 finger. Some wind affect was observed with a very thin skin forming on some Lee aspects which varied in density but did not react to our traffic of 6 people even over convexities. Phantom couloir looked like it might be in as well. All in all a great day
