Comments
Decided to ski up Bourgeau Lake trail. Wet, heavy, but not quite rotten snow, overall pleasant trail skiing. Turned around at 5.5km slide path, which had a large volume of debris, probably from the big March cycle, but only ran down a few meters past the summer trail. Saw some recent size 1 wet point slides farther uphill on that slide path. Slide at 2km looks like it ran all the way to the creek, probably also March cycle. Lots of pinwheels, but didn't see any wet slides there yet. At 13:15, started hearing regular rock slides coming off the cliffs on the opposite side of Wolverine Creek.
