Quick report

- Terrain was highly variable with snow from 12/22 storm significantly affected by wind travel. Wind-scoured terrain present on all aspects. - Watch out for large terrain traps around rocks and over water features such as Edith Creek and in the Edith Creek Basin - Skin track tests showed propagation on several wind-loaded slabs - Panorama face (below Panorama Point) was wind scoured towards the top 1/3, making travel on skis difficult in the morning. Snow softened towards the afternoon.

Avalanche

Evidence of multiple recent avalanches on South and East facing slopes surrounding Edith Creek Basin - South facing slopes (eg Golden Gate) had more recent runs, likely before the 12/22 snow accumulation.
