Conservative Christmas

Poor visibility for most of the day, fairly warm temperatures when out of the wind. Pit dug on NE aspect of Fraser ridge. Total snow depth ~160cm. Failure at 55cm and 75cm from surface at CTM12, and again at CTE7 on mellow slope. We did not remove our skins and rather backtracked our skin track. Knee deep skin track filled in within 45min. Shooting cracks and wumphing.
