Comments

Wolf’s Den/ had some good visibility and could look into Glacier Bowl/Chutes. Big avalanche cycle in the glacier drainage, multiple size 3’s (see pics). Some of these appeared to have occurred in past 24h with fresh crowns.

Wolf’s den still needs some creative skinning to get to the second meadow, lower meadow is very very aldery as is most of the main run. If you ski the skiers left meadow the alders are more covered and it’s great skiing to 800m. We skied from peak, probed ~130-150cm at TL. Lower in meadow (800-900m) probing more like 70-100cm. Wx: cloudy with sunny periods, no precip, L-S winds at ridge top.
