Quick Observation

Today we traveled in the far lookers right chute of fraser chutes, we were surprised mostly by the depth of new windslabs, which in crossloaded tree line areas was about 120cm deep and still very soft (you could easily push your pole into it with the basket facing down). We avoided anything that looked very thick or pillowed, and opted for well supported gully centres that had more sheltered snow for skiing. We also felt the wind blowing from almost every direction today which is a change from the last few days of consistent southwest wind.
