Here be dragons - gully south of Fraser Chutes

dale.robert.heffernan, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>Ended up in the gully south of Fraser chutes while traversing north from Byrant Lake. Light was extermely flat and vis was low. Heard a flairly good whumpf from a convex feature while attempting to gain elevation to avoid cornice+train trap. Snow south of the chutes was characterized by 25-30 cm of powder onto of a wind crush. The chutes them selves were amazing, deep heavy powder. Snow flet more coatal than i have ever seen in the Pass. Too bad the sun never really came out. The storm front moved in at ~2 pm with stronger south winds and more snow. </p>
