Observations

I’m sure you’ve got a ton of these photos, but I take a photo of that release on mushroom ridge from gladiator just paint a different picture with ski lines in it , that I think is important to see. Classic be mindful of other people and what’s below . Me and my Ski partner skied that shot down into western home at 12:20 . The slide had not released yet .
