Purple/Gandalf/Hero’s

Spray - KLakes

CWM , Thursday 6th April, 2023 9:50PM

Nice day out and overall good conditions. Surprisingly cold and dry conditions still on all three slopes we rode. The sun was starting to pack a punch when we topped out on purple at noon. Stayed well left of the cornice but there are a few smaller ones looming left as well. Winds were gusty at times and the top half of purple and Gandalf were variable due to wind. Approx. 1” breakable crust in places. Other than some wind effect the recent snow is still unconsolidated. Quite a few tracks on sweet sixteen but great snow to be found. The rapid temp rise noted is only in relation to the south facing slopes and lower elevations. We noted a couple of small releases at the top of the dog leg chutes on the way in (see pic).
