Very icy. Recommend don't do it. The Phantom skied decent where the pow isn't scouted away.

The uncontrolled fall hazard is real on steeper slopes now.

I skied it with another of our party, we had the other two turn around. Wish I'd had an ice axe for more secure sidestepping down the ice and booting out the exit couloir. Many would probably want a rope, too. There was some soft snow in there, but not much, and some of it was wind slab.
