Observations
Morning ski down from East Peak along the lower angle shoulder (rather than direct down through the burn). Partner triggered slab on the 35+ slope just above the Bullion Basin skin track, not caught.
West aspect skied well in the morning, cooked in the afternoon. Protected North and East aspects good all day. Lots of wind texture on Bullion Peak and Crown Point faces.
