Tryst Chutes

Lapped the chutes today, we experienced stormy conditions, strong gusts of wind, and light snowfall throughout the day (~5cm). Storm slab was present and reactive, particularly on wind-loaded aspects. Persistent layer is tricky and can still be found easily in steeper terrain. Visibility was limited at times but we observed several old avalanches from the past few days, indicating recent instability. Continued loading from the storm is adding stress to the snowpack, and avalanche hazard remains elevated. Careful route selection and stability assessments recommended.
