<p>We call this area Sugar bowel because conditions are often, you know, shitty. Ok skiing above 1300m. Moist and sticky further down then wet below. There had been a fairly recent avalanche cycle. Debris in the Norheim Couloir and Lower Intestine, (photo), was covered up by about 30cm. Lots of SW wind at ridge tops loading up the start zones. Temperature below freezing above 1400m.</p>
