Comments
Soggy conditions on isothermal snowpack all the way to the top of Mt Seymour. We triggered numerous wet loose (size 0.5 to 1.5 - the steeper the slope the bigger the sluff. Basically anything remotely steep would go on very slow very wet sluff).
Numerous glide cracks opening up everywhere - some of them as wide a meter.
Snowpack still very thick above 900 m.
