Ride smarter, To ride harder

<p>With stability being in the foreground of everyone’s mind these day I feel we travelled conservatively gain confidence as the day went on. The group looked at larger open slopes and made a good call and said there is no point. Let get up to the ridge from a less exposed route. Which proved to be more fun anyways. It may have been a steeper chute style feature but it was much lower consequence. Don’t let your guard down out there. Things feel pretty set up right now. But I think it’s too soon to be Getting to comfortable on the big slopes. We definitely pushed the limits today getting into tight steep slopes but overall things felt really good. When digging a test holes along the way found a crust down 20 from a warming event sitting between to big unconsolidated storm layers. Surfacehoar/facet layers we closer to 200cm down. No tests done as there was close to a 1m of fresh snow in the area. </p>
