Nope.
Although the couloir had already slid, wind slab was forming and higher up significant spindrift was further loading the hang fire. After digging a pit to confirm that conditions were less than perfect, we bailed and skied elsewhere. Definitely boot up in the forest on the way out; the skinning is pure hell. Awesome day to be out though!

Thanks for another great day out Jonn-E!
The Southwest face of point 5524 provided us one hell of a consolation prize.
