Skied several high alpine lines in the last few days, more notably N Face and SE Face of Superbowl on the 2nd and N Face of South Morris and E Face of Morris yesterday (the 4th). All the runs mentioned above skied really well with up to 40cm of dry snow on the N Face of Superbowl and South Morris. There was surface hoar (up to 2cm) on several sheltered slopes, so we hope the new load of snow will be warm and crush it. On the 2nd we witnessed a lot of natural hard slab from steep convex rolls on N faces. By the 4th we had already a lot more confidence in the snowpack. *Bears are out in the Valley of Certain Doom, we saw fresh tracks following a skintrack when we skied Superbowl to Shames River on the 2nd. Be aware of them!
