This week, only significant avalanches have been on south aspects. Polar aspects have only produced small wet loose slides to size 1.5.
South aspects did step down below March 19 and 5th sun crust layers in last couple days. Some to ground from very steep terrain.
We have been boot packing up couliors and skiing steep pillows with only minor pillow failures. Wind slabs at top of couliors have been bonding quickly and unreactive.
Wet snow has allowed for steep skin track setting for entertainment purposes :) Skiing below 1900m is no longer ideal or recommended, but may recover this week with incoming forecasted snow and temps.
We have avoided all sunny aspects.
Skid 1900m to 2600m today on norths.
Significant settling has occurred, 30 - 40cms or more, in last two days.
Glaciers are cool... no rain this week. Been snowing heavy coastal snow since Wednesday.
Crust will be significant factor tomorrow (Saturday) below 2300m or on sun affected slopes.
Cornice failure hazard is high
No evidence here of the deep persistent from end of Jan / Feb waking up on north aspects.
