Comments

We snowshoed towards Rohr ridge. Saw a few ski groups, who summited the peak.

Lots of recent avalanches observed, did not observe any the day of.

Snow was very hard in the morning and a bit wet in afternoon.

Growl peak ridge, northwest of Rohr - recent avalanches on south facing aspects. Crown is very large.
