Comments

Skied an east face on the shoulder of steep peak at 2000 m. Began to see wind affected snow at around 2000 m. Air temperature was -5.

On the northeast face of steep peak there was a small trigger point size 1 avalanche (left arrow in picture). On the same face there was some debris lower down the slope. The group discussed the possibility of it being cornice debris but were unsure (right arrow in the picture).
