Comments

Excellent skiing at Pedley Pass. 30+ cm of new snow over the last two days, with a total of 185 cm at the pass itself. A pit at the top of the pass showed no obvious weak layers except for potentially where faceting began 60-80 cm down. One instance of whumpfing occurred at the convex role at the pass proper, where it is a wind funnel. No natural avalanches observed on anything other than extremely steep (>60 degrees) slopes.
