Steep 'N Deep Tree Skiing

<p>Phenomenal day of skiing on the sea to sky gondola. Evidence of multiple natural storm slabs were witnessed, likely from the previous day on the untrack heading toward Ledge Mountain. 7cm of snow covered most the debris, indicating things were very active the previous two days. Given these observations and the visibility we decided to stay in open trees. We started at very modest slopes and observed no signs of instability. Working out way up to steeper gladded terrain, we still encountered very light sluffing given the depth of the snow. </p>
