Skiing

Today Henry and I skied the north east face of Fan mountain. Although it was a warm day, the wind help to prevent excessive warming up high on solar aspects. We dropped in and while skiing the upper pitch, my sluff triggered a small dry loose that entrained enough snow to call it a true D1. When skiing the second pitch, I was noticing the snow became much warmer and very wet. I did a ski cut across the gut and ran wet loose snow to the apron. We found the snow on this aspect and elevation to be thin with poor structure. Not nearly as confidence inspiring as our other observations on similar aspects at similar elevations.
