Good day at the Basin. Understand why people love it -- everything on Pali skied awesome. Beavers were meh, Zuma bowl along the cornice was good. Skied what I think is West Turbo? for the first time. And a few laps of Steep Gully 4. Not sure where other entrances are and was getting tired. Hike out ain't no 30min. Maybe half that.

I feel like it took me a long time to find Turbo. Fun run when it has enough coverage.

Entrance to 4 was mostly fine. A couple of careful turns if you really care about your skis.
Need more guidance on entering other gullies. Lots of potential lines looked very thin.

^^^ Yeah, great day @ A Basin. I'd been back in steep gullies before but never had any real sense of the area. Bumped into patrol at rope drop and one of em gave us the full tour of SG's, and we ended by dropping in on #7. He was incredibly helpful, just a great dude, and really just wanted to get more folks familiar with the area. One easy FYI to pass along - all the gullies numbers are marked at the top (and bottom) with pink tape and the # (including individually 4.1-4.5)

#2 is pretty straightforward - from the top, work down-left and then there's a pretty big and obvious drop in to the right - otherwise you're making the obvious traverse into the trees to the left. There's a rope running the ridge on the left side of #2. #2 prob gets skis the most. Coverage is pretty good except for top rollover entrance - just take it easy to avoid catching one of the rocks in there and pitching forward
#1 real thin and bony at the top, till you get into the main gully. Right side better coverage
And again, look for pink tape w/ numbers of each entrance - at least lets you know you're dropping into a defined line
And last, there's a closed sign at the top of one "entrance" in the 4's area - obey it (and any other closed signs), that one starts clean but then cliffs out pretty big - there was a whole tgr post on a mag getting belayed out of there
I don't think I'm giving up any real secrets here. Great area to explore, but have a buddy
