Follow the Wolverine

We started our day wearing all our jackets in the cold (-20C) but gradually warmed up as the day progressed and the sun had some kick to it. Along with some wolverine tracks, we saw a few small slabs and wet loose avalanches out of steep west through south facing slopes in the afternoon. We dug a quick pit on a NW facing slope at 1700m in the alpine and found no significant layers of concern in our tests. The snow depth there was around 2 meters. The best skiing and sledding we found was in wind sheltered areas where the snow remained soft. It still felt more like winter than spring out there!
