Comments

Rode from 2350m on little sifton uptrack down into puff daddy. Great snow in general. Snow on ridge to sifton is shallow and wind scoured but after that it was excellent.

Around treeline one of our group triggered a size 1 slab that propagated 20m but only ran 5 or 10. Depth around 30cm. Weren't able to inspect closely but slight convexity, and exposed to cross loading.

A few pillows in the steeper sections popped off as one cohesive slab, but didn't trigger anything on hitting open slopes.

Sluff easily manageable.
