panorama backcountry

<p>Climbed Mt.Goldie then skied down into the East Fork drainage on the east side. We saw sev size 1 slabs on south to west facing aspects in the area all around the 2000m elevation range and all on open patches below treeline. All slabs appeared to be 1-3 days old. The high alpine (2600m) had been wind affected with a mix of hard and soft slabs and even some scouring down to the old rain crust. Treeline had no wind affect at all and foot penetration was 50-80cm leaving lots of very low density snow for the next wind event. Experienced some whumphing and cracking on our way out below 2000m in the trees. </p>
