Comments
Traversed Macbeth glacier to Blackcomb glacier. It was eerie arriving to an empty sidecountry and skiing down blackcomb with no one in sight. More evidence of loose wet activity, most likely from yesterday. Solar paths on Wedgemount ran to valley bottom as far as we could tell. A slab pulled under cham chutes (pictured) size 1.5 possibly due to loose wet out of the steep rocks. A bit of pinwheeling out of steep solars today but no direct avy obs. It didn't get as warm as yesterday and was a but breezier.
Ski quality was poor due to wind slab and crusts except once we got to the spearhead, we found soft snow!
