Another wet and warm day up high - it was about 0 degrees at 1950 meters with a light mist from the clouds.
We hiked to and from the 6km mark on the Rubble Creek Trail and then skinned up to about the 2000m elevation mark near the Tusk. We dug a pit on a south aspect at 1950m, see snowpack section for details. We also got a windslab to let go on the lee side of a wind lip with a few kicks (see avalanche summary)
