Ski cut some surface facets on shady NE slopes. In Hall of Giants I got a roll over about 40 degrees to break from my ski a few inches deep and slide down 100ft to a tree on a slightly less steep slope. In Lazy days, same ~40 degrees broken from my ski only an inch or two deep but ran a lot farther ~500ft. It was steep the entire way it ran. Parts of the run cross over decent cliffs. Although the sluff wasn't big enough to catch or take anyone off their feet; it was enough to make me bail to a less exposed way down.
Wasn't sure if this was worthy of a write up, but just so you know.
Photo was the small debris pile from the Hall of Giants one. No picture of the Lazy Days one, sorry. Still fun skiing on shady NE...get creative!
