An inversion from 800m to 1400m really put a dampener on our plans today. It was really warm at Ashman ridge and didn't freeze overnight. Snow was wet at the trailer and we didn't get a supportive crust till 1400m. We managed to scrape together a few good turns up high but the ski out was heinous wet punchy slop. We saw one new size 2 cornice release. Cornices at Ashman are big and with this warm weather should be taken very seriously.
