Quick Observation
Parks Canada did avalanche control on several paths that affect the road on Mt. Dennis, Mt. Field and Mt. Stephen on January 17th, 2025. Results were generally small windslabs or loose dry avalanches that gathered mass in the steep facetted tracks. One path on Mt. Dennis put debris on the Field Back Road. Results of interest to climbers are shown in the attached photos. The start zones of Pilsner and Carlsberg were not bombed as the snowpack looked quite thin, however there was an older natural avalanche above Pilsner that was noted on the control mission. Guinness was bombed with no result.
