Yes, it is a crack - Bergschrund "A bergschrund is a type of crevasse or crevice that forms where a moving glacier separates from the stagnant ice above it. It is typically found at the head of a glacier, where the ice is moving fastest. Bergschrunds are often quite large and can present significant obstacles to climbers and mountaineers attempting to cross glaciers or ascend peaks." (www.quora.com/What-is-a-bergschrund)
Hi, it is hard work to ascend but views take away any pain and problems. Skiing down depends on snow condition. This time it was let say average but still allowed some great turns in steep terrain. It is steeper in real - I use Max lens + hyperview in horizontal orientation that captures wide view but makes slope look like flat. We are always happy after line like this and even went for another one. It is not easy to describe feelings of days like this but I enjoy every step/turn😊
