Comments
Good turns above treeline, well skied below treeline. Saw some sz 1 avalanches in the alpine, 1 natural (south aspect) and 3 skier accidentals (east aspect). Cornices have been well fed by recent wind. Lots of evidence of yesterdays wind in transport and loading in the alpine. Warmer than forecasted, started seeing rollerballing off the skin track at around 1130, and snow was moist in the alpine at 1300.
