Wind skin and slabs

kykliss, Monday 20th February, 2023 5:10PM
<p>Gorge 15 saw some wind in the past few days. We skied west trees and main chute. Both had a decent wind skin on them. We were able to ski cut main chute producing multiple size 1-1.5s at various depths of storm and wind slabs. One cut stepped down about 30-40cms down. The typical depth was around 10-15cms. 15 will probably see some action tonight with the amount of loading forecasted. S1 by the end of the day. Probed 290cm at the top and on the first bench. Highly recommend the Rueben at the Malakwa cafe</p>
