Quick Observation
Saw some 1 naturals on South aspect on way up. Skied North side of Evening Ridge (off Hummingbird). 1895m there was 36cm fresh above a relatively supportive crust. Below the crust there were some facets and a second, thick crust went down from 55 to more than 70cm. HS 265cm. Two CT easy (8) at 36 and 45 (RP) but below 55cm, it was a bomber crust. PF was about 40cm so the skiing was good, dry fresh snow. Alternatively, on the route back to the base on the south side it was “active” (read “spicy”)… I think I ski cut an entire traverse from W to E. Only about 5cm of wet, heavy slow at a time but it slid at least ¾ path on each cut (each slide was a .5 to 1, depending on how far I cut). Sluffs were slow but heavy and I could see how this could take someone off their skis for a bit of a ride. The sluffs were sliding on a M/F crust that once exposed was grippy and actually quite nice to ski. Lower elevation, less steep was creamy and fun by about noon. I saw facets about 40cm down between the two crust layers. Below 45cm, the snow was bomber - I could not get anything to move.
