Comments

We did not come across any whumping. We dug a pit at the bottom of et Paul des patrollers. Generally stable, faceted weak layer that propagated after 5 shoulder taps. We did La Roche and L’A. Stable. Snow was extremely variable and turns were at time hard due to change from hard pack to powder to crust. But a beautiful day!
