There was another group of 3 skiers heading up to ski the E face of Huron on Sunday besides our own? We didn't see them unless of course you are referring to my group of 4 whose members were all equipped with avy gear and knowledge.

Thanks for the correction Zach, my bad Jay. I'm a little sleep deprived with Huron, then prom, then after party, then football... I could hear you guys yelling in agony from across the lake once you got into that slushy, dead fall, talus, bushwacking $hit hole that was impossible to ski through haha. Going up and down through treeline really put a damper on the day. I think i'm almost ready to hang them up for the season just because of that.

Pissed off doesn't even come close to the emotions we all had after that day.
