Comments

Toured up to pillowland from Glory lot. Lots of whumpfing and settling lower down (1400-1700m). Conditions improved above 1700. Found the avalanche in the other min near the top of the ridge.

Snow near top of ridge was a little wind/sun affected. Conditions best between 1700-2000m. Light snow began in afternoon and winds were generally light throughout the day.
