Front Ranges

Skied a weather exposed, thin (140cm HS at 2350m), west aspect up Hellroaring today where we encountered some terrifyingly large whumpfs at upper treeline and alpine elevations on old buried wind slabs and/or deeper weaknesses. We aborted plans to ski a steeper SW aspect as a result. Still, 15cm of dry fast snow made for great turns on low angle alpine terrain in the sunshine.
