Any stability issues?
I was inbounds and patrol bombed the S. Back til there were more craters than snow, did not appear to have too much move, only the very top layer in some spots.

We had no stability issues. Like boot was saying in his tr, we approached the basin with extreme caution and after a number of tests, we were rewarded with some great turns. We also nailed both the A and B slots/chutes on the E side of Cement Basin with great snow, surprisingly good stability, and freshies every time.
We've been talking with the patrol and they had been bombing S before, with no results except some fracturing. I think their goal was to get the fractured stuff to slide, but even while they charged off the heli on Saturday, they told us upon check in that they hadn't had much activity.

Hey, good pics. I was at riding lifts on Saturday and saw tracks coming down East Peak, guess some of those were yours.

We pounded out a good up track and put some use on it. Got some really nice runs.
