Crowfoot

<p>Turned around at the glacier whilst heading to Crowfoot due to bad visibility with clouds sitting on the summit. Felt much warmer than forecast throughout the day, particularly in the sun. Ski out through the moraines was decent, crusty but skiable enough. A few large cornice failures observed on solar aspects. Lots of large pinwheels and debris through the second canyon on exit.</p>
