Comments
Stayed on ski track trail up to Chester Lake with a short west loop out to Elephant Rocks. Evidence of recent size 2 natural avalanche on lower 2/3 of NNW aspect of Little Chester. Skin track was firm on the way up and off the track snow was wet, heavy and sticky. Temperatures warmed well above 10C in the sun in the afternoon.
