Comments

Spent the last three days touring/sledding in the kaslo zone. Hit Schroeder/retallack and a summit of mt Brennan.

Overall good ski conditions were had throughout but very cold in the alpine. Wind effect was widely observed at high alpine areas. We observed little in avy activity but did have one settlement on a sw aspect. We dug a quick pit. HS 155. Sudden planet collapse on the 50-60cm storm layer CT14.

Track to Brennan in great shape. We kept in conservative in slope angle but the heli skiers were being more adventurous and had skied steep west/north lines.
