Comments

Did a quick up and back on Glacier crest. Skin track up is in good condition. Only person we saw was one solo guy on misery slippers coming down the skin track. Dug a quick pit (see snowpack) at 1950m NE aspect. HS 185cm with 45cm of F powder on top. Nov 17 crust down 70cm and Nov 5th crust down 105. Had a hard result on the compression test but no other signs of instability; snowpack felt quite solid on the way down. Snow quality was amazing, supportive powder. Calm winds and -7C for the afternoon
