Overlook Bowl to Avalanche Crest

<p>Today during an Advanced Decision Making Course, we skinned up to the Sir Donald Bivy, then up and over into Overlook Bowl, then back up to Avalanche Crest and down to the highway. We did not observe any signs of instability while skiing today, and the snowpack has settled rapidly since I was last out 2 days ago. There was minimal recent wind effect in the alpine, which increased our confidence dropping into Overlook Bowl. The skiing was awesome everywhere. There was a thin suncrust underneath a few cm’s of new snow on steep solar slopes below 1450m.</p>
