Oxo/Puzzle - threading the needle

Better than expected skiing, but had to be very selective on the line choice and ski the zones you’d probably want to avoid if it was any steeper. Main line was a mix of windslab to creamy turns. Snowpack ranged anywhere from 10 cm to 110 cm on the main slope, but avoided the vast majority of sharks. Snow pack was generally garbage at the bottom with what looked like depth hoar or buried surface hoar over facets, at about 2500m. One size 2 slide off of lookers left cliff to the left of Oxo/Puzzle that looked pretty new. Couple whumpfs in low angle zones, wouldn’t trust anything too steep. Access and egress was surprisingly good.
