Gypsum Ridge ski tour Off-Trail skiing on 7-Mar-2024

Good weather and snow. It was -17C at 9 a.m. and -3C at 3 p.m., with light wind all day. For the most part an up track already existed. We saw a handful of other people during the day. Ski penetration around 20-30 cm. Numerous whumpfs in different areas, but no slides triggered. At the west side of the tour we ripped the skins and had good tree skiing in the Ed "tried and true area".
