Comments
Skied Currie to Wedge traverse in a day. Compact powder on polar slopes, crust early on solar, softening later in the day. Great travel in the alpine. 160-180cm coverage on Weart glacier. Plenty of point releases and loose wet sluffing on solar slopes, a few SZ 2 slab avalanches on steep slopes in the alpine. Recent Sz 2.5 loose wet near the Wedge exit (where the summer trail enters the trees) on S slope.
