Comments
3 days up Fryat valley, one old avalanche path on the way up had taken out a tree roughly 40cm ish in diameter. Lots of loose dry/loose wet avalanches from steep rocky solar faces from up at 2500-3000M all small. Even SW slopes at 2500M had a sun crust after Thursday and had some LW releases below 2300M, constant LW activity on Thursday afternoon on our walk out of the valley. Saw one large cornice failure out of three blind mice peak. We skiied steep alpine couilars and found limited instability.
