Phantom Couloir/Ogden Bench

Overall really good skiing today. Phantom Couloir had a mix of hard wind affected snow at the top and some really fun soft snow through out. The fan skied really good with no issues seen. The boot pack was relatively easy with some sections of the snow getting really soft. The last 20-30m of the climb was very wind affected with a couple cornices overhanging on lookers right. Temps were stable that they did not seem a concern. The bench was quite skied out but still lots of fun with a reliable snowpack. Avoided convex slopes as the sun was hitting the bench pretty hard and with the loaded lee slopes it didn’t seem worth the risk. Still lots of good skiing to be had here.
