S2S (Sky Pilot)

Went for a mellow, rest day, checking the conditions up at the Sea To Sky Gondola area. The Skyline Ridge trail has open creeks every 50-100m that require taking skis on/off right after crossing the bridge over Shannon Creek. The Sky Pilot Valley trail has better coverage with no open creeks. On this trail, right after the End of Marked Trail sign, Exit Gully and Home Run Gully had avalanche debris. Skinning and skiing after the groomed trail ends was pretty tricky, with a solid surface crust. Things seem better above 1500m.

Two Wet Slabs observed running down on two exit gullies. Sz 2 due to the character of the terrain and several terrain traps.

Elevation at the time of the observations was 1.150m. Warm day but cloud coverage didn't let the sun to soften the surface crust too much.

Variable MFcr (6-10cm) at the observation point.
