Black Prince

<p>Skied the trees skiers right of the top of the skin track and dropped into the drainage (skiers right) below treeline for some amazing turns. On the second lap dug a pit at the top of the skin track (alpine) to assess layers, soft snow for 20cm on a hard layer, likely recent wind affected, followed by consolidated snow down to 1.8/2m then a heavily faceted weak layer at the base. When isolated the column slipped from the faceted weak layer instantly and without applying any force. </p>
