<p>Moist to ground below 2100m. Supportive to skis above 1900m. Great skiing in alpine/treeline, but the exit through the burn regrowth below treeline was horrific, knee wrenching BS. Would not recommend until there is stability to ski the avalanche path. Ski cut 1x sz 1 touchy wind slab in lee feature at ridge crest. 5m wide 15cm deep 20m long.</p>
