Commentaires

Tour: 0930 standard skin track up from Silver Queen to saddle. No obvious signs of instability on up track. Heavy blasting in resort. Skin track in pretty good shape; heavy people traffic. Could see across drainage to burn upon top out but visibility went down <500 meters before noon and stayed socked in until our descent at 1500. Observed one party trying to set up track up upper 1/3 of slope below half dome (whew). No observed avalanches during tour. Skiing was pretty good albeit a little heavy feeling at times. Coverage was deep enough to open things up and cruise off pillows for most of runs but close to drainage bottom things changed enough to warrant skiing with early season caution again.
