Pulpit Knob 2

Pulpit Knob 1 has a nice skin track in that leads to backcountry moguls. The first descent from the road had a very dangerous tree fallen across the downhill. Lead to a pile-up, then an extraction of the tree at the end of the day. Observed a large Cornice failure on the Peak at approximately midday. See picture. Very low wind on the skin track and next to no sun at the time. Some rather cold gusts of wind later in the day. Hand shear as we got near the top showed the Jan 30th Solar crust about 2cm thick, 40cm down on the South aspect, SP. Nice skiing on heavy powder on the upper knob lead down to the moguls which were variable at best. Did one more lap and got out of there as it was bitingly cold and there was a tree needing some attention. Not usually a hand warmer guy, but I fired up a packet today.
