Quick report

No new snow at Paradise. Lots of rain runnels, icy patches and overall firm crust with some softening in certain areas. Crust is overall supportive. Did not dig in the snow today. Skied to the bottom of Pan Face, booted up to the top and skied down with lots of careful edging.

Avalanche

Recent(within the last week) avalanches/debris spotted all over Edith Creek basin, on southwest to southeast aspects. Crowns not very deep but there were many and one that propagated quite a distance across the slope (see photo).
