Observations
Skinned from the lodge to the top of chair 2 via Edelweiss. Descended via International. All of the upper section was covered with debris that was relatively soft. Up to a foot of unconsolidated wet snow made skiing interesting. Lots of wet sluffing on steep sections. Good skiing was found in areas without debris.
More debris was seen in lower International
