Sounds like they've got a really good handle on things. Knowing your terrain and what has already slid is key. All those chutes will be great with a good dump on them. Will have gone from unskiable to skiable.
Watching that would be prettying humbling. I'd be hugging the trees after seeing that no matter what aspect I was skiing. Or maybe hugging the cat driver.
Did you still ski it? After seeing that you'd have to think there was some pretty serious instability in the area regardless of the aspect. What was the trigger?
@moosebump99 No we didn't ski it. The cat up top was doing avi control by pushing around snow, it seems to work pretty well. We actually skied the other side of the ridge, straight to the back from where this was filmed.
@jesther2 No we were going to drop into the other side from the start. They were just doing the avi control with the cat up top and everyone was watching the cat. Pretty awesome to witness.

Is this the bowl you were getting ready to ski? Holy shit. Did someone change the game plan for the day and try a different aspect?

Just left yesterday. Some of the best skiing ever. The avi control by the guides has make the terrain much safer.

@ryanpiuma Great; just got some snow, so should be amazing. I think the avalanche danger will also be down a bit.
