Blowdown

<p>Had a nice day skiing primarily north facing terrain near Blowdown Peak. Couloir entrances were a little blown in and ski cuts produced big sluffs/small Sz1 wind slabs. Skinning up the final slope to access the exit on SW aspect at ~1900m had whomping and shooting cracks when 2nd skinner triggered a Sz1 that swept down through the trees but managed to self arrest on the bed surface. Day started overcast with filtered sun and progressed to obscured skies and snowfall by 3pm.</p>
