Comments

We toured up to Kokanee ridge. It got moderately busy up there, but we still found good snow on a north east aspect with no wind effect. There is a wind slab sitting on a crust in the start zone of Kokanee bowl, but didn't seem to be reactive.

There are few questionable skin tracks exposed to steep or popular lines.

We saw a few small avalanches up to 1.5 at the end of day. They looked like skier triggered in steep and cliffy lines.
