Phantom Couloir/Ogden Benches

Morning started chilly but warmed up rapidly as the sun came out. The benches softened up a little with the direct sun, we noticed some pinwheeling but the snowpack was very consolidated and stable. We found a few softer turns here where the sun did its work, but elsewhere was bullet hard crust. Phantom was a hard crust the whole way. Terrible skiing conditions in the couloir. No wind all day, and pretty mild temperatures.
