Backcountry Skiing Journal From:

Earnsturns: December 5, 2010 Uphill: 3,100 ft. | Downhill: 3,500 ft.

We went to the same area as the day before and skied east and west facing runs around 9000/8500 feet. We were able to get away from any crust and skied dry powder until the end of the day when things got warm and the snow turned a little heavy. Avalanche danger is still considerable so we have been sticking to slopes not much over 30 degrees. There is still under 100cm of snow on these aspects.
