- <p>Large collapse on second lap in Butler basin. Quick snowpit and brief synopsis in the video below.</p>
I will continue to live by my Golden Rule in the backcountry. 'Never ski slopes where persistent weak layer lives'. The low angle meadow skipping is so fun right now with the low sun angle and fast powder snow. With time and patience I have faith the mountains will invite us in eventually..
