Dug a few pits on the north end of the lake (Scott Duncan exit area) just to see the snowpack, not really an aspect you would ski there but was interested to just have a look. Snowpack 1.2-1.5m 4 pits all failed sudden planar or drop in the hard range (21-25) 60cm down. One failed hard on the deep persistent layer (drop)

Toured up to Sherbrooke lake to find a lot of activity has happened in the past 24 hours or so. Two slides ran full path to the lake, one off the northern Paget slide paths (wind loaded alpine section likely trigger point) and the other under the Ogden cliffs, maybe sluffing down or cornice hard to tell. A few other smaller pockets also look to have slid in the past day or two on both sides
