Long time lurker, first time poster. A thick cloud ceiling just above tree line made for whiteout navigation in the alpine. Despite having skied this route more than a few times, the usually trivial navigation became frustratingly slow inside the ping-pong ball, even with GPS. We turned around 100 vertical metres from the col to ski a mix of dust-on-crust, styrofoam, and concrete via a line near Roger’s Run.

Snow conditions were: Crusty, Hard. Weather conditions were: Cloudy, Warm. We rode: Alpine slopes, Mellow slopes, Open trees. Riding quality was ok.
