<p>Climbed Teddy Bear’s Picnic on the Headwall today, skiing in and out. There was light snow throughout the day, with patchy coverage above and below tree line. Ice was very brittle, fracturing across pillars and we knocked a ton of debris off. No significant avalanche debris observed on the way in, though several slides came down especially in the later afternoon. </p>
