Quick report
- Cracking
- isolated
We toured into golf slides around 1030 this morning. Started with Main Gully- we ascended to about 1/3 height in mostly fist density snow . Above 1/3 height, the density changed to four finger and was noticeably more wind effected. We skied down from there. Went to look at Gully 2, don’t bother, there are lots of bushes. From there, we followed the sneak through to the south snowfields, where we ascended to just below the Ridgeline. We skied 400 vertical feet of 35° fist density snow with no evidence of instability. From there, we traversed over to Main Gully, arriving at 2/3 height and skied that to the bottom. The middle part of had significantly less snow in it, and you would scrape to the old surface every other turn. We experienced cracking on isolated convex rolls above 40°.

Avalanche
We found evidence of natural avalanche debris at the bottom of main Gully (see pic), and in the south snowfield. Estimated depth of debris was 8+ feet. no visible crown as you could not see to the ridgeline, and wind had filled it back in.
