<p>Good skiing on Mount Field today. We avoided the summit headwall, but ventured towards the lower ridge between Mt.Field and Mt.Wapta. Some evidence of old debris noted from Field Headwall. Some buried wind slab observed right below ridge crest, which had us turning around before committing to steeper terrain. Cornices have been failing along the Field/Wapta ridge in the past 24hrs</p>
