After a natural avalanche cycle Monday, failing on March 19th suncrust on steep unskiable terrain. No slides on skiable terrain where observed on any aspects.
Today, we went out with a very conservative mindset, yet we ski'd north to west aspects in steep (35-40 degree) alpine features. At treeline we ski'd pillows in 50+ degrees with only minor sluffing in 60+ unsupported slopes.
At 2600m we had temperatures at -2c however temperatures where consistent to lower elevations (1700m) with down flow winds off the glaciers.
Tomorrow might be a chill day....
