Quick Observation

Headed for a walk behind Kokanee. Plenty of large whumpfs along the way on S and W aspects. Cut a very small cornice on an E slope and the whole slope propagated. About 20cm crown, around 30 metres across. A healthy size 1. Making my way up the ridge, multiple more slides on the same aspect slid. some smaller, one larger. On my way back down, tested a sunny slope and got a crack about 10 metres long in front of me. A little bit more incline and the whole slope would have likely slid. The sun is potent when it comes out of the clouds.
