Comments

Followed the skin track across the lake and through the forest into the alpine

No significant cornices were observed overhead, but we observed a size 0/1 crown failure (about 10m across) in one of the fans above us on the climber's right so we just stayed within TL and BTL.

Snow was deep in the trees and we had some amazing glade skiing, though there were small patches of crust skiing at TL.
