Rime on the top, meringue sloughs on the east side; Mt Jagungal

There is an understated ridge on the top of Mt Jagungal that runs out to the south. It's not hugely exposed or particularly narrow, but on the eastern leeward side, there is a relatively steeply pitched slope; a decent drop off on skiable snow to crank some turns. After the initial steeper drop, the slope moderates, giving a thigh burning run of nearly 1km down to the Geehi River and hopefully a snow bridge to cross it. In most years snow covers the Geehi River allowing you to cross on skis right through to spring.
