Events of the day
Warm, bluebird, last leg of the Bomber Traverse. Air temp roughly 25-30 degrees with no wind. Previously skied a 35-40 degree slope on a similar aspect with no signs of instability. Decided to ski something steeper for the last lap. No pits were dug. All decisions were based off of skiing the previous two days of terrain along the traverse.
