The perfect day in the Promise Land

The perfect day to cross 7 bridges into the Promise Land. Very low snow on the trail in, but generally skiable. Lots of snow once you climb upto the plateau. We found 5-25cm of fresh hero snow ontop of a 3cm crust and then another 60-80cm to the next crust. No signs of instability all day as we skied 4 different upper bowls. In the deepest and most west facing area we had easy planar hand sheer results 5cm down and then medium effort at 20cm down so we skied the best supported line we could. Small winds slab crowns on extreme and rocky west facing areas there. Other areas with more South and/or north aspects had zero to hard hand sheer results. Strong winds at times blowing some snow off the summit ridge. Definitely worth the long and bony approach today.
