My partner started from the top of Doug's drop one at a time and regrouped above the main steep chute in a stand of trees.Noted some sluffing but nothing significant. I entered the chute and cut across to the less steep gut and now the sluffing was starting to to be a bit more significant so I pulled off to the side and let it pass. Looking back up the slope I noted the crown. I skied the bed surface and it was a bit crusty but skiable. My partner skied down to the side and had some lovely powder turns. Yes Drew this is the place. Slope angle probably around 38ish.
