Hiked up to the primrose overlook and bob's knob. Snow at lower elevations was wet and heavy but got drier as we gained elevation. We skied from the primrose overlook down into the gully on the north side of bob's knob without causing any sluffing or avalanches. We transitioned and skinned back up to bobs knob and transitioned again. Snow was sluffing at the new snow-old snow interface and running for a ways. Nobody caught or carried. This was the only one that we filmed but any cutting across the slope we would cause long running sluffs that would break at our feet.
