Comments
Tricky day out in the Big Y and Big Blue drainage. Low clouds with occasional breaks of sunshine and a north wind. We turned around on a south-facing slope due to a suncrust. Saw one recent avalanche (about 24 hours old), but couldn't clearly see the start zone due to cloud cover. Size 1.5 2. Possibly cornice triggered. Crown depth estimated 30 40cm in steep unsupported terrain. Ran about 400 m
