<p>We attempted to ski White Knight on the east ish facing terrain of Mt Ogden but didn’t like the entrance to the skier’s left of the cornice. We decide to ski further to skier’s right of where the cornice ends. I skied down a ridge that had trees to get photos of the first skier coming down the steeper alpine slopes. There was a 10-15cm release after a couple of turns that’s gathered size and momentum and would have sucked to been caught in. This occurred ~2300m. It ran down as far as we could see and turned right w the terrain features. I added some photos and loosely circled it in red. We watched skier 1 finish the run and get to a safe area. We decided to then head down further skier’s right in the trees. There was still a top layer that was moving a bit but not quite like it did in the more open slopes. It was very brisk in the shade and windy on top of the ridge.</p>
