Comments
Stuck to non-solar aspects today. It was beautiful out, stayed away from other groups, parked secluded, and truly social distanced door to door.
Skiing was quite good in the shade, we skied chutes/pillow terrain. Test pit at TL showed stability in the upper and mid pack. At 1600hrs we observed from afar, avalanche off of Crowfoot Mountain North peak (the usual spot) cornice failure, loose dry off of the steep cliffs to the moraine below.
