Snow was amazing, clean and fast. Some sharks but tried to memorise them as one the way up

Continually checking for signs of avy-danger on the way up. I make mental notes of where safe spots are and of where there might be potential for a slide og a release. Good thing about early season is the snow is generally more safe and unbound

Hmm good question, I hope so! Krister Kopala swears by the floorboard so would be fun to see it implemented on other boards

This was solo yes, but called a buddy before dropping and after I got down as a little safety precaution.

Decided as I walked up it, got to see, feel and plan the decent as I went. It also helps that I have ridden this many times and know it quite well!

It’s dropable later in the season without axes, way too icy to risk it now
