Tumbling SE (Banokadonk)

<p>Spun a lap on Tumbling SE (the slide paths that face 93S). Unfortunately, the wind had gotten to all the slopes from mountain top, right down to the road. With the continued NE winds, the conditions got worse throughout the day. We made it to the ridge, but we played it conservative getting off the ridge (tight steep trees) and down back into the lower avalanche paths. The ridge crest had big fat wind slabs and the lower paths were wind effected right down to the valley. </p>
