Comments

Lots of land mines everywhere still. Have to be cautious still when dipping the skis down. Drop of doom is still sketchy coming back out with rocks.

Probed approx 110cm at 1850m elevation.

Lots of pinwheeling everywhere on all slopes we rode all day.

(2nd image)Cabin lake NW facing slope as significant wind cross loading. And is the leeward side of a cornice. Evidence of an old avalanche on this slope is still present.

The lake has a spot that is open water still on the north east end of the lake!
