We had a great spring day in Tommy 3. A cold night had re-frozen the snowpack which made for easy travel. We explored bowls, climbed through tight passes and linked alpine features. The Alpine snowpack was hard with multiple melt freeze crusts that were well bonded to the surrounding snow. Solar aspects softened up in the afternoon but we did not see any new avalanches. The trail was melted out to kilometer 5.5.
