<p>Went up the gorge near km15. Things got very warm pretty quickly. We also saw what looked like fresh (less than 12 hours old) avalanches size 1.5ish on similar angles that we planned on riding, and the snow was warm with a melt crust developing on top of it… so we just bailed and enjoyed a very heavy conservative lap to the car. On the drive out there were small fresh avalanches onto the road.</p>
