26 Jan - plenty of powder

The trees were looking very nice today. We skied in the Tsugaike area from 1900m to the south for a few runs of nice deep fast slightly dense powder. There were three of us there, and not another person or track to be seen. Private mountains. After yesterdays cracking and fracturing I was happy to be up higher with 100cm between the crust and myself, and off complicated terrain with steep pitches, convexities and other gullied textures. We skied our way up to a little over 35 degrees on supported terrain with only spaced anchors and felt great. Deep trail breaking, cold temps, light winds and a covered sun yet still great visibility. Pretty good conditions for that area.
