Quick Observation
Lots of refill over 3hrs in old paths we saw. Wind mostly scouring. Wanted to ski steep N aspect but didn't look good and left to a cruisy trail down. Parkers is in rough shape compared to a week ago
Avalanche Information
2 avalanches in relatively low angle terrain low down on Parker's Ridge NE ish aspects, maybe size 2 by mass from wide propagation. Another from S facing alpine higher up off the back of Athabasca that we could only see the debris for. Observed form a distance but probably sz 2
Weather
Consistent strong winds extreme gusts. Absolutely blasting facets up the slope. Large portions of main runs at Parkers stripped back to crust near ground or hard surfaces
