Comments

Late Report due to technical issues with phone! Skied big kahuna on Sunday, cth25 on north face,of storm snow on previous wind hard pack, skied the choke conservatively one by one, conditions were powder, firm in the choke, chalky and powder to the lake- didn’t ski bed surface from previous reported avalanche that must have happened over the storm cycle. Approach a little more technical than in previous years, nothing major. South facing above Bryant lake skied excellent for corn o clock in the afternoon.

Lots of cloud movement except Bryant lake and Fraser peak stayed in the blue hole.
