Comments
Crew of 2 stayed one night at Keith's hut March 13-14. On the way in we noticed a size 2 natural on Joffre just above and to the right of the big landslide origin. Lots of rollers on sunny slopes.
On the way out today it was VERY warm and sunny. Rollers everywhere on sunny slopes, but no additional natural avalanches observed. Caution as temps continue to rise... snow is getting real wet and heavy. As this warming event goes on the higher the likelihood natural avalanches will start popping off.
No whumpfing or cracking observed on the way in or out.
