Comments
We skied Lake Shot with no problems but then on our second lap we chose a slightly more northeasterly line and triggered a few small avalanches as we went. Could have been scary in more consequential terrain, and we decided not to do Lake Chute, figuring that the whole slope could slide on the sun crust.
