Quick Observation
Wet snow but supportive up to the waterfall. Patchy skinning on the shady side of the creek and dry hiking on the sunny side. Mostly dry going around the waterfall. easy travel on the glacier with 80-150 cm on the toe. An average 280 in the middle flat section. And between 100 to 240cm on the upper section The last pitch before the summit block we found 30cm with new settled dense snow on the crust. There was some small facets on the crust with 10cm of moist snow and 20 cm of dryer wind effect snow above. Another party turned around because they of it. On the way up ther was a 2 cm crust below 3150m on North aspects with dryer powder snow above. The crust was a bit hooky to start but softened up below 2800m. Below 2400m there was 20cm of mushy heavy snow on a supportive base late in the afternoon. Skied down patchy supportive snow below the waterfall almost to the road but that will not last long. Several wet loose avalanches up to size two over the last couple days on all aspects and elevations except high North. If you use the website you can add photos, the app isn't working as great.
