Quick Observation
Backed off the skin up to the Illecillewaet Glacier/Lookout Col when we encountered signs of instability/windslab. Went to the paths below The Overlook and had lovely turns in the sun!
Avalanche Information
Wind affect and then shooting cracks with a terrain trap below had us back off our skin up. We moved down to less consequential terrain and popped off a small little windslab (photo). Ripped the skins and heading to the paths below The Overlook for some warm, sunny, hot laps.
Weather
-26 leaving the car at around 10:30. -16 at the car at 16:30. Beach weather in the sun, uncomfortable in the shade.
