Bear Face Blower

Conditions were on point as snow stayed cold and dry into the early afternoon. Did not find any signs of instability on my specific route up the cut block, road, glades. Several crowns/flanks observed on the London Ridge/Whitewater side of the highway including a glide crack on the NE aspect off London Ridge. Despite my profile results up Bear Face it’s definitely still heads up hockey with high consequence probabilities at the time I was up in this region. Conditions and stability will surely change significantly with the storm snow coming before the warming next week.
