Avalanche: Girdwood
Location: The Notch
Took the cat track to powder hut and up to about 2100ft. Cat track exit is a bit harry. Needs more snow! Crust started at about 1600ft then snow becomes bottomless below that. Fun skiing above 1600ft.
(Thanks to the second party for the skin track! Also – please don’t leave full beers in the huts during the winter.)
