Comments
Warm, sunny/cloudy day. Planned to do super slope but we changed our mind after hearing what sounded like a moderate avalanche to the North at around 13:00 while we were uptracking through the cutblock. We decided to ski Tryst chutes instead for some less sun-affected North facing terrain.
