Quick Observation

We went up Illecillewaet Glacier to Lookout Col. Conditions for stormy and foggy. Limited visibility. No wind on the uphill but W winds at the Col. Our plan was to go down the backside towards Ravens but changed out plans when we witnessed a size 2.5 storm slab avalanche for the lookers left top of Lookout Peak. We skied down where we came up.

Avalanche Information
