Quick Observation

Spent a long day exploring a remote corner of the Spearhead range (21/02/22). Followed the Spearhead Traverse to the Platform Glacier, summited Shudder Mountain, then skied the Shatter and Shudder Glaciers. Great snow quality on both glaciers gave an awesome 1000m run all the way down to Wedge Creek. The climb back up from Wedge Creek to the Circle Lake area was long and adventurous. We found good stability overall, except for the exit out Bodybag Bowl, where strong winds and reverse loading created scary windslabs on skiers left, which we were able to avoid.
