Andy attacks it.
Went up to the pine ridge behind Tsugaike again today, same crew as yesterday. Another 30cm new snow, heavy lower down – noticeably heavier than yesterdays nice dry snow. We did two good laps of the trees for a quick and easy day. No instability in the areas that we ascended and skied. Snow profile here, from the Snow Profile page

Andy has a similar helmet to mine. I bet he doesn't worry about getting slapped around the chops by pissy little branches either.
