Comments

We skinned up the Rousseau Chute (11:00) and skied down the North route (13:30).

Snow conditions were lighter and less crusty but wind affected near 1500m but heavier as we descended with areas of hard crusty snow in the shade.

No signs of previous avalanche activity. No cracking or whumpfing. Some pinwheeling on sun affected aspects in lower elevations.
