Comments

We made it up to 1360 meters in the Big Y drainage , thanks to a small break in the clouds. We were able to dig on a north aspect at 1360 meters with no results of concern. The winds were gusting to 30 km / hr from the south around noon.

We saw a size 1 dry loose avalanche out of steep terrain, but besides that no new natural avalanches observed . There was 20-30 centimeters of soft snow in protected lower alpine terrain. This snow is sitting on a firm surface but seems to be bonding well. We did not find wind slab today in tree line.
