Shark

Excellent skiing and trailbreaking. Stayed between -1 and -3 a on the polar aspects between 1900m and 2300m keeping the snow dry. Chute 2 had a natural size 1 wind slab avalanche from the last couple days, the east bowl off shark had a size 3 persistent slab from much earlier in the week that ran far to vally bottom with 1.5m crowns. The wind picked up mid afternoon and we observed 2 size 1.5 avalaches come down from mountain top in extreme. terrian on North aspects. Probably some small cornices pulling small wind slabs and entraining mass. Heard a larger Avalanche from Bryant Creek vally at the same time. Ridge crests and open areas and in the basin where the wind had gotten to the snow had a very slabby feel to it. Minor whumpfing in the boulder field. Dug a snow profile on North aspects at 2150m With compression and ECT giving no results. Found persistent week later down a 1m as 2-3 cm of 4Fingers facets surrounded by 1 finger facets. The sun came out at 4pm and it was a sticky skiing on the lower elevations crosscountry ski trails and +4 at the parking lot.
