Quick Observation

Went up to Lyautey N glacier. We where going to ski the main couloir but realized we where a bit late and wanted to be sure of the snowpack first. I dug a full profile at 2550m on the glacier. We found a deep 260cm snowpack with couple big MFC and a generally solid snowpack ranging from 1F near the top to P near the base. Check 2nd photo for pit details. Lots of evidence of DP avalanches from the big warm up but nothing that seemed recent. Snow up high on N aspect did not get isothermic all day. Valley bottoms was pretty much clear up to the forks campground.
