Waiting for corn to bloom

<p>We set out for an unnamed summit at 2285m and skied out the Rocky Road Bowl. Walked up the Mt. Fernie drainage. Pretty heinous skinning on shaded slopes, much easier as snow warmed. Saw a lot of evidence of wet loose slides 24hrs+ and one slab release from a cornice fall. Skied out by 1300 and triggered small wet loose slides on a steep solar aspect. Snow was good in protected areas and as sun warmed slopes, a cool wind slowed the warming in the alpine.</p>
