Notes
Ice Cream Scoop on Skiers Left Side in Gully, North Aspect, 9280'
SS-ASu-R1-D1-S
One of the few spots on the gully where there are no trees as a wind block on the skiers left (south) side. Noticed a few cornices on south side of gully where it is exposed to W/SW/S winds. Skier took a left turn under cornices to scrub speed and released a 6-10" windslab 40' wide which ran 10' at most. Super soft and easy to ski through.
