STS Couloir

Punchy & somewhat chalky snow in the upper section with a few cm of some lighter stuff overlying it.
Chopped cornice back by 2 feet or so on skier's right, it was pretty hardpacked. Snow in the couloir was unreactive to the dropping snow from the cornice, and also a belayed ski cut.
Notable surface hoar on the ridge, not present in STS.
