Quick Observation

Good day's sled access skiing. We skied East aspects above Fraser lake and the ridge SW of the lake. Overall stability seemed good, though we did not push unsupported convex slopes or steep terrain. Wind and cross loading of gully features is evident, and we chose to avoid these areas. Quick pit (pictured) showed the expected layers (Jan 16, Dec 11). The upper crust remains supportive above 1200m. Heads up for debris from last avalanche cycle, most notable on South aspects and at base of gully features.

Weather

Snow transport on alpine ridges.
