Comments

20-30 cm of new snow from convective flurries overnight added up to some good skiing. plus it was on and off snow all day. Avalanche debris up loop brook was 20m to start and all of path above the elephant trunk. Probably want to take an alternative exit out of Bonny Moraine. Going up the Lily you can skirt most of the debris. Dome glacier had no wind effect.

A size 1.5 avalanche came down above loop brook trail from far above on Ross peak but otherwise no new avalanches.

Snow was heavy below 1500m and you could still fell the crust below 1800m.
