Rode the Horse today. It was actually pretty good. There's lots of unskied and chopped fresh up high.
Took one lap inbounds and then dropped Toliet Bowl on the back side of Ozone (backcountry). Definitely wary of the entrance. Winds have pressed the snow and the cold has kept it low density. You can still feel the slab though. The bottom was fun and good pow.

Really cold and still a lot of rocks but otherwise it was a great ski day. No one was there.

Apparently the headwall slid a few days ago.... a size 3, pretty much to ground. Last friday 'Harvey's' gulley slid, size 2.5. Things are going to go off with the alpine temps supposed to reach 4 degrees this weekend! :shock:

I should have some video this afternoon of a few other naturals which happened yesterday around the resort.
