Quick report

Low snow coverage for the most part but not terrible. Once you are North of McCallum the last wind event was channeled through the Delta or Canwell so keep an eye out for any wind loading of North Aspects.

No red flags but due to poor visibility did not venture into much steep terrain.

Snowpack

A mix of wind-affected spots and a few soft caches. The wind loading here is primarily on North Aspects. The gulley above the tower had a very large cornice (especially for being mid-slope not on a ridge) Watch the micro terrain.

Avalanche

Only saw a couple old crown breaks on North Slopes.
