Decided to skin up Gold Hills??? up to Blue Bell pass then headed left to find some good lines. South facing slopes had a bit of slab in places and could be thin in spots. The north facing lines were pure joy with the sun out all day. The pit in the area we lapped showed stable conditions although it was protected from the wind and had little sun exposure.

Little new snow had fallen and the resort looked pretty well tracked up from our viewpoint. Crown point looked ok with a little point release on the north slope and the valley is untouched and looking great.

Have fun out there and watch out for the lurking branches logs and rocks on the south sides.
