After running around the Spearhead for a couple of days, Wilkes and I embarked on a quest to find pow lines off Fissile. The steeper lines (eg NE face, Elevator Shaft, Summit Chute) looked good but weren't primed for silk-smooth. I'd actually never skied the tourist baby lines off Fissile (Banana Chute, NW aka Main Face). These turned out to hold the best snow so that's what we skied.
