Today, we rode at Sinclar. Temperatures were cooler today than the last few days, with temperatures hovering around -3 in the alpine. Steep southerly aspects were pinwheeling and producing loose wet avalanches up to size one. The sun was packing a punch today, with southern-facing surfaces becoming moist by mid-day. We did an extended column test on a north aspect at 1600m and did not get any results in testing. We found the Feb drought layer down 70cm in this profile. Cornices are starting to get big, so we stayed away from any large run-outs in the heat of the day.
