Comments
Skied from Mosquito Cr-Observation sub peak drainage via the Dolomite traverse route + Cirque N couloir after bailing on our original plan due to overnight winds. Overall cloudy day with pockets of sun in the morning. Winds picked up in the afternoon mostly Mod with gusts into strong. Snowing lightly all morning and picking up around 2pm. We covered a lot of terrain and had decent vis. Saw 2 older sz 1 windslabs. Windslabs and wind effect was widespread in the ALP and at TL but slabs felt stubborn/un reactive. Cirque N needs 2 30m raps currently.
