Quick Observation

Almost topped out at the col but snow started feeling a bit weird as I got higher so decided to transition and make my descent, still a great run. Definitely better coverage in the col than expected and the lower fan is bomber. Coverage was starting to fade as I got closer to the top of the col and the snow was a lot easier to punch through and feel the PWL, but before that I had a semi-solid freeze down to what felt like a good mid pack which made for great travel in the alpine. Travel below 1800m was crusty and punchy in areas of the creek bed. Lots of recent big pinwheeling observed in the col and a couple small sz 1 slab avalanches on S faces around the zone.
