Half a Mike Wynn Circuit

Attempted the Mike Wynn Circuit April 29th. Poor overnight refreeze to about 2200-2300m so the tree ascent was heinous. Above 2300m the surface crust was just supportive to skis and travel improved the higher we climbed. Around the 2400-2500m elevation the crust was supportive but mid pack was still moist. The day was a mixed bag of weather with poor visibility up high with strong gusts and convective flurries. We turned around at the final slope to the col due to lack of visibility and the potential for building windslabs in the alpine. Lots of old natural avalanche activity in the area - even some natural logging done by a much larger avalanche, pouring over the first moraine feature. Beautiful terrain - just save it for a good refreeze and clear skies!
