Bumble free Peak

Another bluebird and calm day on the Coast! We saw one size 2 slab avalanche that appeared to be triggered by cornice fall and had run all the way to the bottom of a bowl. This is a good reminder to give avalanche paths a wide berth when skinning up to your objective. Otherwise, we found a supportive melt-freeze crust on the surface up to the top of the peak (1750m) on solar aspects. On shady aspects above 1300m there is about 5cm of cold, new snow. Sunny aspects softened throughout the day and made for great corn skiing!
