Comments

Rode Seaton in the afternoon and had some better visibility at times to get up into the alpine. Visibility was more of a limiting factor than managing terrain for avalanche hazard.

Surface conditions were lighter in the morning with some gentle stiffening of the snow from greenhouse-ing and warmer temperatures later in the day.

Saw a little wind slab, but didn't see any other signs of recent(last 48 hours) avalanche activity. See photos for image of the windslab and snow coverage in the alpine.
