Comments

Very foggy inbounds today. Toured out behind East Peak. Windy but surprisingly snowpack was not scoured as it often is. Stayed below tree line today although the Avalanche report indicated favourable conditions with low probability of a slide. Probed snow depth and found anywhere from 120 to 65 cm depth. No whumping noted and no loose slabs. Overall quite good skiing.
