Panorama ridge area

Toured up to below the trident couloir zone to have a look at the couloirs on that wall. We had hoped to find features with a deeper snowpack but after some scoping and a quick pit in a mellow fan of one couloir it was clear things weren’t in yet. The couloirs all looked bony in places and the HS in the fan of the one line we investigated was average of 100cm. Dug a quick pit here and found a supportive midpack on 4F facets. ECTX but got a shovel shear to propagate on the basal facets 4cm off the ground. The shovel shear did take considerable efffort. Skied a lap on Panorama ridge afterwards and found 5cm of new snow on a suncrust.
